A Remembrance

On this swelling bank (once proud

Of its burthen) Cloris lay:

Heer she smis'd, and did uncloud

Those bright suns ecclips the day.

Heere we sate, and with kind art

She about me twin'd her arms,

Claspd in hers my hand and heart

Fetter'd by those pleasing charms.

Heer my love and joyes she crownd

Whil'st the hours stood still before me,

With a killing glance did wound

And a melting kisse restore me.

On the down of eyther breast

Whil'st with joy my soule retir'd,

My resigning heart did rest

Till her lips new life inspir'd.

The renewing of these sights,

Doth with griefe and pleasure fill me,

And the thought of those delights

Both at once revive and kill me.
