Chapter 124 No.124

Oft in my Jealous Transports I wou'd cry,

Ye happy shades, ye happy Bow'rs,

Why speaks she tenderer things to you than me?

Why does she Smile, carress and praise your Flowers?

Why Sighs she (opening Buds) her Secrets all

Into your fragrant Leaves?

Why does she to her Aid your sweetness call,

Yet take less from you than she give
