Who had been stronger: O vain Fool, to let Such blest Occasion pass; I'll follow yet, My Blood is up, I cannot now forbear. _Enter_ Alex, _and_ Cloe. I come sweet _Amoret_: Soft who is here? A pair of Lovers? He shall yield her me; "Now Lust is up, alike all Women be. _Alex_. Where shall we rest? but for the love of me, _Cloe_, I know ere this would weary be. _Clo_. _Alexis_, let us rest here, if the place Be private, and out of the common trace Of every Shepherd: for I understood This Night a number are about the Wood: Then let us chuse some place, where out of sight We freely may enjoy our stoln delight. _Alex_. Then boldly here, where we shall ne're be found, No Shepherds way lies here, 'tis hallow'd ground: No Maid seeks here her strayed Cow, or Sheep, Fairies, and Fawns, and Satyrs do it keep: Then carelesly rest here, and clip and kiss, And let no fear make us our pleasures miss. _Clo_. Then lye by me, the sooner we begin, The longer ere the day descry our sin. |
