A show'r obliged the pair, without delay,

To seek a shed:—the place I need not say;

The rest within the grotto lies concealed:—

The scenes of Cupid ne'er should be revealed.

Alaciel blame, or not—I've many known,

With less excuses, who've like favours shown.

ALONE the cavern witnessed not their bliss;

In love, a point once gained, naught feels amiss,

If trees could speak that grew within the dell,

What joys they viewed—what stories they might tell!
