Behold, what 1olumes to the Fires are born.
What Throngs of Bards their crackling Labours mourn
nourn!

The love of Jove and Darlings of the skies.

As fond Philander, in the pit,

As I beneath a myrtle fhade lay mufing,
Ask not the caufe why fullen Spring
Ask not, why forrow shades my brow,
As love-fick Corydon befide

As Sylvia in a forest lay,

At dead of night, when wrapt in fep

A thousand feveral ways Iiry'd

At length, my cruel fair, give o'er
