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.
