But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat,
The lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat,
To closer read more

But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat,
The lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat,
To closer shades the panting flocks remove;
Ye gods! and is there no relief for love?

Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told;
And all read more

And all who heard it made enlargements too.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.
