First Line: Whilst thousands court fair chloe's love
Last Line: Than we whene'er you fly.
Subject(s): Courtship; Hunting; Hunters
Whilst thousands court fair Chloe's love,
She fears the dangerous joy,
But, Cynthia-like, frequents the grove,
As lovely, and as coy.
With the same speed she seeks the hind,
Or hunts the flying hare,
She leaves pursuing swains behind,
To languish and despair.
Oh, strange caprice in thy dear breast,
Whence first this whim began;
To follow thus each worthless beast,
And shun their sovereign, man!
Consider, Fair, what 'tis you do,
How thus they both must die,
Not surer they when you pursue,
Than we whene'er you fly.
