CLOE.
Impatient with Desire, at last
I ventur'd to lay Forms aside;
'Twas I was modest, not She chaste,
Cloe, so gently press'd, comply'd.
I ventur'd to lay Forms aside;
'Twas I was modest, not She chaste,
Cloe, so gently press'd, comply'd.
With idle Awe, an am'rous Fool,
I gaz'd upon her Eyes with Fear;
Say, Love, how came your Slave so dull,
To read no better there?
I gaz'd upon her Eyes with Fear;
111
To read no better there?
Thus to our selves the greatest Foes,
Altho' the Nymph be well inclin'd;
For want of Courage to propose,
By our own Folly she's unkind.
Altho' the Nymph be well inclin'd;
For want of Courage to propose,
By our own Folly she's unkind.
