11On this swelling bank (once proudOn this swelling bank, once proud
22Of its burthen) Cloris lay: Of its burden, Doris lay:
33Heer she smis'd, and did uncloud Here she smil'd, and did uncloud
44Those bright suns ecclips the day. Those bright suns eclipse the day;
5Here we sat, and with kind art
6 She about me twin'd her arms,
7Clasp'd in hers my hand and heart,
8 Fetter'd in those pleasing charms.

610Heere we sate, and with kind artHere my love and joys she crown'd,
711She about me twin'd her arms, Whilst the hours stood still before me,
812Claspd in hers my hand and heartWith a killing glance did wound,
913Fetter'd by those pleasing charms. And a melting kiss restore me.
14On the down of either breast,
15 Whilst with joy my soul retir'd,
16My reclining head did rest,
17 Till her lips new life inspir'd.

1119Heer my love and joyes she crowndThus, renewing of these sights
1220Whil'st the hours stood still before me, Doth with grief and pleasure fill me,
1321With a killing glance did woundAnd the thought of these delights
1422And a melting kisse restore me. Both at once revive and kill me!

16On the down of eyther breast
17Whil'st with joy my soule retir'd,
18My resigning heart did rest
19Till her lips new life inspir'd.

21The renewing of these sights,
22Doth with griefe and pleasure fill me,
23And the thought of those delights
24Both at once revive and kill me.
