| 395. Chloe Divine |
| CHLOE 's a Nymph in flowery groves, | |
| A Nereid in the streams; | |
| Saint-like she in the temple moves, | |
| A woman in my dreams. | |
| Love steals artillery from her eyes, | 5 |
| The Graces point her charms; | |
| Orpheus is rivall'd in her voice, | |
| And Venus in her arms. | |
| Never so happily in one | |
| Did heaven and earth combine: | 10 |
| And yet 'tis flesh and blood alone | |
| That makes her so divine. |
