INSCRIBED ON A BEAUTIFUL GROTTO NEAR THE WATER.
(Published in 1753.)
I
The Graces sought in yonder streamTo cool the fervid day,
When Love's malicious godhead came,
And stole their robes away.
II
Proud of the theft, the little godTheir robes bade Delia wear;
While they, asham'd to stir abroad,
Remain all naked here.
