In Silvia’s love to find a place,

And wonder’d at her scorn.

With bows, and smiles he did his part;

But Oh! ’twas all in vain:

A youth less fine, a youth of Art,

Had talk’d himself into her heart

And wou’d not out again.

Strephon with change of habits press’d,

And urg’d her to admire;

His love alone the other dress’d,
