Young Philomela's powrfull dart <br />Two gentle shepheard's hitt <br />With Beauty touchd Amintors heart <br />Celadons with witt <br />The Rivall swains on either side <br />Their am'rous pangs expressd <br />Till young Amintor she denyd <br />Celadon she blessd <br />The youth who mett a mutuall fire <br />In pleasure lost his pain <br />The others hopeless flames expire <br />Beneath a cold disdain <br />Ye Priests of love ye Poets tell <br />What Cupids forces are <br />If when the suit goes ill or well <br />No more we serve a fair.<br /><br />Thomas Parnell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-philomela-s-powrfull-dart/
