CHLOE's CONQUEST . 'TWAS by a purling Stream , beneath a Shade , Young CHLOE , CUPID , and ALEXIS play'd : LOVE's Goddess , with her Doves , sat looking on ; And , smiling , nodded to her wanton Son : Her wanton Son his keenest Arrow drew ; Swift , to the Swain , the pointed Weapon flew . Inflexible to Love , the Shepherd stood , Repell'd the Shaft , and mock'd the baffled God ; Till CHLOE rais'd her Eyes with killing Art , And shot him with a more pernicious Dart : Yours is the Victory , ALEXIS cries ; Not CUPID's Shaft has kill'd , but CHLOE's Eyes .
