I. <br />Chloe found Amyntas lying, <br />All in tears, upon the plain, <br />Sighing to himself, and crying, <br />Wretched I, to love in vain! <br />Kiss me, dear, before my dying; <br />Kiss me once, and ease my pain. <br /> <br />II. <br />Sighing to himself, and crying, <br />Wretched I, to love in vain! <br />Ever scorning, and denying <br />To reward your faithful swain. <br />Kiss me, dear, before my dying; <br />Kiss me once, and ease my pain. <br /> <br />III. <br />Ever scorning, and denying <br />To reward your faithful swain.--- <br />Chloe, laughing at his crying, <br />Told him, that he loved in vain. <br />Kiss me, dear, before my dying; <br />Kiss me once, and ease my pain. <br /> <br />IV. <br />Chloe, laughing at his crying, <br />Told him, that he loved in vain; <br />But, repenting, and complying, <br />When he kissed, she kissed again: <br />Kissed him up, before his dying; <br />Kissed him up, and eased his pain.<br /><br />John Dryden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roundelay/
