TO CLOE, by                    
First Line: Cloe, blooming sweet as may, / we must tempt mama away
Last Line: Trust me, cloe, this will do.
Subject(s): Jealousy; Love Affairs; Mothers; Temperance; Prohibition


CLOE, blooming sweet as May,
We must tempt Mama away;
Still the jealous dame destroys
All our schemes of future joys:
All the projects we have tried
Vainly yet have been applied.
At my bait she now must bite,
If I guess her temper right:
She shall have her lower too.
Trust me, Cloe, this will do.
