John, come kiss me now
Language: English
When charming Chloe gently walks, Or sweetly smiles, or gaily talks; No goddess can with her compare, So sweet her looks, so soft her air. In whom so many charms are plac'd, Is with a mind as nobly grac'd; With sparkling wit and solid sense, And soft persuasive eloquence.
