“Chloe Blush’d and Frown’d and Swore”

By Nicholas Rowe (1674–1718)
 
(From The Biter, 1705)

    CHLOE blush’d and frown’d and swore,
      And push’d me rudely from her;
    I call’d her Faithless, Jilting Whore,
      To talk to me of Honour;
    But when I rose and would be gone,        5
      She cried nay, whither go ye?
    Young Damon say, now we’re alone,
Do, do, do what you will, do what you will with Chloe:
Do what you will, what you will, what you will with Chloe,
Do what you will, what you will, what you will with Chloe.        10
