To CLORIS : An ODE set to the New RIGGADON . I Love thee well , But not so well to wed thee , Lest blood rebel , And Appetite should cloy ; Whilst free and kind , Each hour I long to bed thee : But if consin'd , Should scarce believ't a Joy . Second Movement . In Earth and Air All Creatures else possess Their pleasing Liberty ; Then why should Man , The Lord of all the Universe Less happy be . Third Movement . Bring Musick then and Wine still , And every one his Dear , That friendship most Divine still , That treats with Cher éntiér . Fourth Movement . The wise think all those very dull , To marriage yoaks incline ; But if e'er I do play the Fool , Dear Cloris I am thine .
