  1. Both to my parents and the deities:
  2. I tore (0 heav'ns!) her finely braided hair,
  3. How charming then look'd the disorder'd fair.
  4. So Atalanta in her chaise is drawn,
  5. Where the Arcadian beasts her empire own:
  6. So Ariadne, left upon the shore,
  7. Does all alone her lost estate deplore.
  8. Who would not then have rail'd and talk'd aloud
  9. (Which to the helpless sex might be allowed.)
  10. She only did upbraid me with her eye,
  11. Whose speaking tears did want of words supply.
