IANTHE the Lovely, the Joy of our Swain, By Iphis was lovd, and lovd Iphis again: She livd in the Youth; and the Youth in the Fair; Their Pleasures were Equal, and Equal their Care: No Time nor Enjoyment their Dottage withdrew, But the longer they livd. But the longer they livd, Still the Kinder they grew. A Passion so Happy, allarmd all the Plain Some Envyd the Nymph, but more Envyd the Swain Some swore twould be pity their Loves to invade; That the Lovers each one, for each other were Made: But All All consented, That none ere yet knew A Nymph half so Fair, A Nymph half so Fair, Nor a Shepherd so True. For in their Beginning of Love, we did find They strove, in their Love, who should still prove more Kind: The swain and the Nymph, by the Dawn of the Day In Innocent Love, past the Minutes away In each others Arms, gave the Lovers their Due: They always were Constant, They always were Constant, And always were True. And sevral Years this True Love has gone on, And they are as good as when first thy began: No Ends of our Loving! (the Nymph she did cry) No! no! (says the Shepherd) I Love till I Die. So Constant this Pair was, so Faithful and True, That the longer they livd, That the longer they livd, Still the Fonder they grew. Love saw them, with Pleasure, and vowd to take Care Of the Constant, the Faithful the Innocent Pair; What Either do want, Ill bid of her to move. But they wanted nothing, but Ever to Love, was all that to Bless them, god Cupid could do, That they still might be Kind, That they still might be Kind, And they still might be true.
