Past. V. Nor winding Streams that through the Valley glide; And the scarce cover'd Pebbles gently chide. Receive you first this tuneful Pipe; the same That play'd my Coridon's unhappy Flame. The same that sung Neæra's conqu'ring Eyes; And, had the Judge been just, had won the Prize. Accept from me this Sheephook in exchange, The Handle Brass; the Knobs in equal range. Antigenes, with Kisses, often try'd To beg this Present, in his Beauty's Pride; When Youth and Love are hard to be deny'd. But what I cou'd refuse, to his Request, Is yours unask'd, for you deserve it best.
