Clorinda and DamonClorindaDamon come drive thy flocks this way. DamonNo: ’tis too late they went astray.ClorindaI have a grassy Scutcheon spy’d, Where Flora blazons all her pride. The grass I aim to feast thy Sheep: The Flow’rs I for thy Temples keep.DamonGrass withers; and the Flow’rs too fade.ClorindaSeize the short Joyes then, ere they vade. Seest thou that unfrequented Cave ?DamonThat den?ClorindaLoves Shrine.DamonBut Virtue’s Grave.ClorindaIn whose cool bosome we may lye Safe from the Sun.DamonNot Heaven’s Eye.ClorindaNear this, a Fountaines liquid Bell Tinkles within the concave Shell.DamonMight a Soul bath there and be clean, Or slake its Drought?ClorindaWhat is ’t you mean?DamonThese once had been enticing things, Clorinda, Pastures, Caves, and Springs.ClorindaAnd what late change?DamonThe other day Pan met me.ClorindaWhat did great Pan say?DamonWords that transcend poor Shepherds skill, But he ere since my Songs does fill: And his Name swells my slender Oate.ClorindaSweet must Pan sound in Damons Note.DamonClorinda’s voice might make it sweet.ClorindaWho would not in Pan’s Praises meet ?ChorusOf Pan the flowry pastures sing, Caves eccho and the Fountains ring. Sing then while he doth us inspire; For all the world is our Pan’s Quire.
