To woo thee on a couch of lavish roses—

Who, bathed in odorous dews, in his fond arms encloses

Thee, in some happy grot?

For whom those nets of golden-gloried hair

Dost thou entwine in cunning carelessnesses?

Alas, poor boy! Who thee, in fond belief, caresses

Deeming thee wholly fair!

How oft shall he thy fickleness bemoan,

When fair to foul shall change—and he, unskilful

In pilotage, beholds—with tempests wildly wilful—
