IV.

His wise son, with care and pain,

Search’d all nature’s frame in vain;

For a while content to be,

Search’d it round, but found not thee;

Beauty own’d she knew thee not,

Plenty had thy name forgot:

Music only did aver,

Once you came and danc’d with her.[96]

[96] From Dunton’s “Athenian Sport.”
