IRis on the bank of Thames , with a sigh, and weeping Eyes, Said to a lovly Celimane , Let not Man your heart surprize: Men are all compos'd of lies. Tho' a thousand Times they sware, and as many Vows Repeat, All they sware, is Common Air,
All they promise but deceit, None were ever constant yet. Wisely then preserve your heart, from each Tyranny of Fate, Which only then can Act its Part, when Love has its return of hate, and then Repentance comes to late.

What I to Cloris did pretend, is to a Real passion grown, That stubborn heart that would not bend, in one short minutes overthrown, As sorrow sat upon her brow, And tears from her bright eyes did flow, Love play'd the Charming Syrens part, And in the waters fired my heart. How pleasent was the sad surprize, whilst I to quench those Flames did seek, The Pearls that melted from her Eyes, and fondly kist 'em off her Cheek,
With her white hand she put me by, And softly cry'd Amintor fly, Lest by your stay you do Receive Infection, and with Cloris grieve. Too late alas, you do advise; the sweet Contageon now is spread, My heart your beautys sacrifice, and panting at your Feet is lay'd, Ah! Cloris make a kind Return, 'Twas gentle pity made me burn, But if the offring you despise, Declare it and Amintor dyes.
