And the feast,
God, in whom all dainties are.

Is my best part.
Use still thy rod,

Therein thy Love.

Since last My feet this lower earth plane trod?'

Soft Cloris with the dear Alexis join’d;
When e’er the Manly part of thee, wou’d plead

While we the noblest Passions do extend
The Love to Hermes, Aphrodite the Friend.
