  1. But whence, ye furies, claims a third his share?"
  2. Enrag'd I spoke, and o'er her cheeks were spread
  3. Swift newborn glories in a sudden red;
  4. Such blushes on the bridal night adorn
  5. The trembling virgin; such the rising morn.
  6. So sweet a hue the lab'ring Cynthia shows,
  7. Or the fair lily damask'd by the rose;
  8. Or iv'ry, which time's yellow taint defies,
  9. When twice enrich'd with proud Assyrian dies:
  10. Such were her looks, and a diviner grace
  11. Had never brighten'd that enchanting face.
