(2) You grasped my hand, and look'd languishing when I endeavour'd to answer right coyly agen; But I such a Passion that minute did feel, Which I then had no Power or Art to conceal; The Arrows of CUPID I felt so severe, Which made me discover that Passion, my Dear. (3) The Freedom of Pleasure my Dear shall enjoy, Tho' my Beauty may conquer, it shall not destroy: In the Valleys of Pleasure together we'll live, Thou shalt never want what thy fair Celia can give: Therefore now my dear Phaeon, no longer complain, If thou'rt wounded by Beauty, I'll heal thee again. (4) You tell me that every Hero must bow To the Scepter of Beauty, yet I cannot tell how This Assertion you make can be absolute true, When you see that fair Celia is conquer'd by you: Then in Love's Golden Empire thou shalt ever bear sway, And thy Celia will study and strive to obey.
(5) If Rubies and Roses a Bride's Ornament, In a Dream or a Vision, can yield such Content, How much greate[r] a Transport of Love wilt thou find, In the perfect inj[o]ying a Beauty that's kind? Therefore fly to my Arms l[i]ke the dear render Dove, Thou shalt feed on the Sweets of a Banquet of Love. (6) The Harvest of Pleas[u]re my Phaon shall reap, While with tender soft kisses I lull thee to sleep; Nay, and CUPIDS with Qui[v]ers shall guard u[s] by Night, While we ba[t]he in the Streams of our Youthful Delight Not a Frown on the Brow of thy Love shall appear. For my Care shall be still to Delight thee, my Dear. (7) How pleasant and sweet is the Fountain of Love. Which is here to be priz'd and admir'd above All the Titles of Honour, nay Fame and Renown, For there's nothing but Crosses and Cares with a Crown: I can slight Crown[s] and Scepters, and the bright Golden Ore For to Honour the Man whom I dearly adore.
