To a very Young Gentleman at a Dancing-School . I. SO when the Queen of Love rose from the Seas , Divinely Fair in such a blest amaze , Th' inamour'd watry Deities did gaze . II . As we when charming Flammin did suprize , More heavenly bright our whole Seraglio's Eyes ; And not a Nymph her Wonder could disguise . III . Whilst with a graceful Pride the lovely boy Pass'd all the Ladies ( like a Sultan ) by , Only he lookt more absolute and coy . IV . When with an Haughty air he did advance , To lead out some transported she to dance , He gave his hand as carelesly as Chance . V. Attended with a Universal sigh , On her each Beauty cast a Jealous Eye , And quite fall out with guiltless Destiny .
