He. Time and Place you see conspire,

With tender Wishes, fierce Desire;

See the willing Victim stands

To be offer’d by your Hands:

Ah! Let me on Love’s Altars lying,

Clasp my Goddess whilst I’m dying.

She. Oh Lord! what hard words, and strange things d’ye say;

Your Eyes [too] seem closing, and just dying away:

Ah! pray what d’ye want? Explain but your mind,

Which did I but know, perhaps I’d be kind.
