    What, Albius! why this passionate despair
    For cruel Glycera? why melt your voice
    In dolorous strains, because the perjured fair
    Has made a younger choice?

    See, narrow-brow'd Lycoris, how she glows
    For Cyrus! Cyrus turns away his head
    To Pholoe's frown; but sooner gentle roes
    Apulian wolves shall wed,

    Than Pholoe to so mean a conqueror strike:
    So Venus wills it; 'neath her brazen yoke
    She loves to couple forms and minds unlike,
    All for a heartless joke.

    For me sweet Love had forged a milder spell;
    But Myrtale still kept me her fond slave,
    More stormy she than the tempestuous swell
    That crests Calabria's wave.
