Blushes and paleness did by turns invade

Her tender cheeks, and secret grief betrayed;

As fire, that sleeping under ashes lies,

Fresh blown and roused, does up in blazes rise,

New kindled by her lover's sparkling eyes,

So flamed the virgin's breast.

For chance, that day, had with uncommon grace;,

Adorned the lovely youth, and thro' his face

Displayed an air so pleasing, as might charm

A goddess, and a vestal's bosom warm.
