“Ah, Chloris! could I now but sit
As unconcern'd as when
Your infant beauty could beget
No happiness or pain!
When I the dawn used to admire,
And praised the coming day,
I little thought the rising fire
Would take my rest away.”
―Charles Sedley

And still make love anew?
When change itself can give no more,
'Tis easy to be true.”
―Charles Sedley

“Out of our reach the gods have laid Of time to come th' event, And laugh to see the fools afraid Of what the knaves invent.”
