WHEN first I lay'd Siege to my Chloris,

When first I lay'd Siege to my Chloris:

Cannon Oaths I brought down,

To batter the Town,

And boom'd her with amorous Stories.

Billet deux like small Shot did so ply her,

Billet deux like small Shot did so ply her;

And sometimes a Song,

Went whistling along,

Yet still I was never the nigher.
