This told to her, Himself in thoughts surpriz'd
Through that unlook'd-for Chance, much cordialliz'd
Since th' Omen rare; he strait his former Suit
Repeated thus. I hope that Kiss-salute,
Sweet'st Madam, now your Servant may obtain,
High Favour thought: She silence shew'd again.
He therefore tasts with chearful Gratitude
Those choice Preserves. Orsamnes then pursu'd
His first Assault, through stronger Flames did prove
More earnest Combatant i'th' field of Love.
