Concealment The merchant, to
secure his treasure, conveys it in a
borrowed name; Euphelia serves to
grace my measure, but Cloe is my flame
real flame. My softest verse, my
darling lyre, upon Euphelia's
table lay; when Cloe noted her
desire, that I should sing,
that I should play. Fair Cloe blushed,
Euphelia frowned; I sung and gazed, I
played and trembled, And Venus to the
loves around remarked how ill we
all dissembled. |
