Tempered to thy warbled lay;

O’er Idalia’s velvet-green

The rosy-crownèd Loves are seen

On Cytherea’s day,

With antic Sports, and blue-eyed Pleasures, 30

Frisking light in frolic measures;

Now pursuing, now retreating,

Now in circling troops they meet:

To brisk notes in cadence beating

Glance their many-twinkling feet. 35
