When first Amyntas su'd for a Kiss,
My innocent Head was tender:
That tho' I pushed him away from the bliss,
            My Eyes declar'd my Heart was won;
I fain an artful Coyness wou'd use,
Before I the Fort did Surrender:
But Love wou'd suffer no more such abuse,
            And soon, alas! my cheat was known:
He'd sit all day, and laugh and play,
A thousand pretty things would say:
My hand he'd squ"ze, and press my knees,
Till farther on he got by degrees.

My Heart, just like a Vessel at Sea,
Wou'd toss when Amyntas was near me;
But ah! so cunning a Pilot was he,
            Thro' Doubts and fears he'd still sail on:
I thought in him no danger cou'd be,
Too wisely he knows how to steer me;
And soon, alas! was brought to agree,
            To taste of Joys before unknown:
Well might he boast his Pain not lost,
For soon he found the Golden Coast;
Enjoy'd the Oar, and 'tach'd the shore,             Touched.
Where never Merchant went before.
