IANTHE the Lovely, the Joy of her Swain, By Iphis was lov'd, and lov'd Iphis again: She liv'd 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 liv'd, But the longer they liv'd, Still the Kinder they grew. A Passion so Happy, allarm'd all the Plain; Some Envy'd the Nymph, but more Envy'd the Swain; Some swore 't would be pity their Love's to invade; That the Lovers each one, for each other were Made: But All all consented, That none e'er 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. Give the Lovers their due, They always were Constant, They always were Constant, And always were True. And several Years their True Love has gone on, And they are as good as when first they began: No End's of our Loving! (the Nymph she did cry) No! No! (says the Shepherd) I'll Love 'till I Die, So Constant this Pair was, so Faithfull and True, That the longer they liv'd, That the longer they liv'd, Still the Fonder they grew Love saw them, with Pleasure, and vow'd to take Care Of the Constant, the Faithful, the Innocent Pair; What Either do want, I'll bid Either to move, But they wanted nothing, but Ever to Love, It 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 maght be True.
