Amyntas led me to a Grove,
Where all the ______ did shade us;
The Sun it self, though it ______ Strove,
It could not have betray’d us:
The place secur’d from humane Eyes,
No other fear allows.
But when ______ Winds that gently rise,
Doe Kiss the yielding Boughs.
______ there we satt upon the Moss,
And id begin ______ play
A Thousand Amorous Tricks, to pass
The heat ______ all the day.
A many Kisses he did give:
______ I return’d the same
Which made me willing to ______
That which I dare not name.
His Charming Eyes ______ Aid requir’d
To tell their softning Tale;
On her ______ was already fir’d
’Twas easy to prevaile.
He did ______ Kiss and Clasp me round,
Whilst those his thoughts Exprest:
And lay’d me gently on the Ground;
Ah who ______ guess the rest?
