Young Coridon and Phillis
Sat in a lovely grove;
Contriving crowns of lilies;
Repeat tales of love:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
But as they were playing,
She ogled so the swain;
It saved her plainly saying,
Let's kiss to ease our pain:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
A thousand times he kissed her,
Laying her on the green;
But as he farther pressed her,
Her pretty leg was seen:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
So many beauties removing,
Her ardour still increased;
And greater joys pursuing,
He wandered o'er her breast:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
A last effort she trying,
His passion to withstand;
Cried, but it was faintly crying,
Pray take away your hand:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
Young Coridon grown bolder
The minute would approve;
This is the time he told her,
To shew you how I love:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
The nymph seemed almost dying,
Dissolved in amorous heat;
She kissed, and told him sighing,
My dear, your love is great:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
But Phillis did recover
Much sooner than the swain;
She blushing asked her lover,
Shall we not kiss again:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
Thus love his revels keeping,
Till nature at a stand;
From talk they fell to sleeping,
Holding each other's hand:
And something else, but what I dare not name.
