To Daphnis Sleeping
While you, my D APHNIS , on the leafy Bed,
To Slumber sweet recline your weary Head,
While on each Hill is plac'd the frequent Net,
Thee wanton Pan pursues with eager Feet:
With him S YLVANUS , crown'd with Ivy pale,
Thy cooling Cavern seeks o'er Hill and Dale.
O fly; prevent their rude resistless Hands,
And burst ambrosial Slumber's magic Bands.
To Slumber sweet recline your weary Head,
While on each Hill is plac'd the frequent Net,
Thee wanton Pan pursues with eager Feet:
With him S YLVANUS , crown'd with Ivy pale,
Thy cooling Cavern seeks o'er Hill and Dale.
O fly; prevent their rude resistless Hands,
And burst ambrosial Slumber's magic Bands.
