“Cease, fond shepherd! Cease desiring  What you never must enjoy;She derides your vain aspiring,  She, to all your sex is coy.{{pb}}Cunning Damon once pursued her,  Yet she never would incline;Strephon too, as vainly wooed her,  Though his flocks are more than thine.{{pb}}At Diana’s shrine, aloud,  By the zone around her waist,Thrice she bowed, and thrice she vowed,  Like the Goddess, to be chaste.”
