The varying blush her Fate oVrspread,
As Lillies daffiasVd by the Rose;
While gentle tumults in each Breast,
Their mutual Love in sighs disclose.
When sudden opened to their view,
Beneath the branches of an Oak;
A Village spire with Ivy drest,
And thus Palemon spoke .
Twelve moons my Love are gone and oer,
Since first my youthfull heart you won;
Then haste my fair to yonder spire,
And there unite our vows in one.
Together hied the rustic Pair,
With constancy their only wealth^
Vor wish'd for more while thus possess'd,
Of Lnve,their Cot, and rosy health.
