Elegia VIII.[277]

Ad Cypassim ancillam Corinnæ.

Cypassis, that a thousand ways trim'st hair,

Worthy to kemb none but a goddess fair,

Our pleasant scapes show thee no clown to be,

Apt to thy mistress, but more apt to me.

Who that our bodies were comprest bewrayed?

Whence knows Corinna that with thee I played?

Yet blushed I not, nor used I any saying,
