Strephon and Clea: or, love in its prime: being the happy shepherd and lovely nymph: The timourous nymph at last does yield to love, and finds it next to joys incense above, the only sollace of the soul, such joys, flowingfrom thence, as all sad care destroys: long in kind Strephons arms she panting lay, [be]'twixt sighs and smiles, well pleased with wanton play: t[i]ll both to [f]eed their bleating flocks do rise, not try'd with love, for lovers that ne'r cl[o]ys. To a pleasant new tune us'd at the play-house.
[London] : Printed for P[hilip]. Brooksby, at the golden-ball, near the [hospital] gate, in West-smithfield,
[between 1670 and 1696?]
