Faithless as the winds or seas;
Sometimes coming, sometimes coy,
Yet she never fails to please.

Ah, Chloris! that I now could sit
As unconcerned as when
Your infant beauty could beget
No pleasure, nor no pain!

Ah, Chloris! could I now but sit
As unconcern'd as when
Your infant beauty could beget
No happiness or pain!

And praised the coming day,
I little thought the rising fire
Would take my rest away.
