Dear Phoebus, hear my only vow;
If e'er you loved me, hear me now.
That charming youth -- but idle fame
Is ever so inclined to blame --
These men will turn it to a jest;
I'll tell the rhymes and drop the rest:
----------- ---------- ----------- desire,
----------- ---------- ----------- fire,
----------- ---------- ----------- lie,
----------- ---------- ----------- thigh,
----------- ---------- ----------- wide,
----------- ---------- ----------- ride,
----------- ---------- ----------- night,
----------- ---------- ----------- delight.
