Hor. Dark Chloe now my homage owns,

Skilled on the banjo and the bones;

For whom I would not fear to die,

If death would pass my charmer by.

Lyd. I now am lodging at the rus-

In-urbe of young Decius Mus.

Twice over would I gladly die

To see him hit in either eye.

Hor. But should the old love come again,

And Lydia her sway retain,
