OUNG Cælia in her tender years, the rose but on its alk, Fill'd with the Virgin's modest fears, stepp'd forth one ’n to walk.

She had heard of Love's blind Boy, and wish’d to find him out, Exp: for to find the joy, of which she’d been in doubt.

A pleasant shady grove she spy’d, where trembling aspens shook, Close to it’s slow'ry verge did glide, a ’ring limpid brook.

Amyntor sighing there she found, she heard him talk of love, His crook lay by him on the ground, while thus he pray’d to Jove.

Grant, mighty Pow' that I may find, some case within this breast; Grant that my Cælia may be kind, and make he Amyntor blest.

Grant her to know the forse of love, and to her swain's desire, Grant but of me she may approve, and more I'll ne'er require.
