Strephon with his Lisbea lay;

Both to mutual Joys enclin'd,

Let their Inclinations stray:

As the curling Vines embracing,

Fondly of the Oak around;

So the blooming Nymphs caressing,

Of her Swain with pleasure crown'd.

How surpriz'd were ev'ry Swain,

When they found the Nymph engaged;

Disappointment heighten'd Pain,
