The May-pole where thy little feet,
So roundly did in measures meet,
Is broken down, and no Content,
Comes near Amyntor since you went,
All that I ever heard him say,
Was Chloris, Chloris, welladay.

And whisper'd there such pining woe ;
As not a blade of Grass will grow :
O Chloris ! Chloris ! come away,
And hear Amyntor' s Welladay.
