When Cloris heard of her Amyntas dying
Language: English
When Cloris heard of her Amyntas dying, She grieved then for her unkind denying. Oft sighing sore, and with a heart unfeigned, I die, I die, I die, she thus complained. Whom when Amyntas spied Then both for joy out-cried, I love, I love sweet Cloris' eye, And I Amyntas till I die.
