    For ladies' love I late was fit,
    And good success my warfare blest,
    But now my arms, my lyre I quit,
    And hang them up to rust or rest.
    Here, where arising from the sea
    Stands Venus, lay the load at last,
    Links, crowbars, and artillery,
    Threatening all doors that dared be fast.
    O Goddess! Cyprus owns thy sway,
    And Memphis, far from Thracian snow;
    Raise high thy lash, and deal me, pray,
    That haughty Chloe just one blow!
