When first Amyntas su'd for a Kiss,
My innocent Heart 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 squeeze, 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.
