English poem
Chloe brisk and gay appears
by Anonymous
Chloe brisk and gay appears, On purpose to invite; Yet, when I press her, she, in tears, Denies hersole delight.
Whilst CELIA, seeming shy and coy, To all her favours grants: And secretly receives that joy, Which others think she wants.
I would, but fear I never shall, With either fair agree; For CELIA will be kiud to all, But CHLOE won't to me.
