  1. That none at once could madly dote on two.
  2. Deceiv'd, unarm'd, we Cupid soon o'ercame,
  3. And I glow shameless with a double flame.
  4. They both are fair, both dress'd so nicely well,
  5. That the pre-eminence is hard to tell.
  6. Sometimes for this, sometimes for that I burn,
  7. And each more beauteous sparkles in her turn.
  8. Each claims my passion, and my heart divides
  9. As to and fro the doubtful galliot rides.
