Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIJIKLKLMMMM| Amyntas led me to a Grove | A |
| Where all the Trees did shade us | B |
| The Sun it self though it had Strove | A |
| It could not have betray'd us | B |
| The place secur'd from humane Eyes | C |
| No other fear allows | D |
| But when the Winds that gently rise | C |
| Doe Kiss the yielding Boughs | D |
| - | |
| Down there we satt upon the Moss | E |
| And did begin to play | F |
| A Thousand Amorous Tricks to pass | G |
| The heat of all the day | F |
| A many Kisses he did give | H |
| And I return'd the same | I |
| Which made me willing to receive | J |
| That which I dare not name | I |
| His Charming Eyes no Aid requir'd | K |
| To tell their softning Tale | L |
| On her that was already fir'd | K |
| 'Twas Easy to prevaile | L |
| He did but Kiss and Clasp me round | M |
| Whilst those his thoughts Exprest | M |
| And lay'd me gently on the Ground | M |
| Ah who can guess the rest | M |
