Part 2 — CHLOE DIVINE
Reading edition
Chloe's a Nymph in flowery groves, A Nereid in the streams; Saint-like she in the temple moves, A woman in my dreams.
Love steals artillery from her eyes, The Graces point her charms; Orpheus is rivalled in her voice, And Venus in her arms.
Never so happily in one Did heaven and earth combine; And yet 'tis flesh and blood alone That makes her so divine.
Thomas D'Urfey [1653-1723]
