NAMES[318:1]

[FROM LESSING]

I ask'd my fair one happy day,
What I should call her in my lay;
By what sweet name from Rome or Greece;
[[319]]Lalage, Neaera, Chloris,
Sappho, Lesbia, or Doris, [5]
Arethusa or Lucrece.

'Ah!' replied my gentle fair,
'Belovéd, what are names but air?
Choose thou whatever suits the line;
Call me Sappho, call me Chloris, [10]
Call me Lalage or Doris,
Only, only call me Thine.'
