Chapter 11 No.11

Yet he obeyes and leaves the peaceful Plains,

The weeping Nymphs, and sighing Swains,

Obeys the mighty voice of Jove.

The Dictates of his Loyalty pursues,

Bus'ness Debauches all his hours of Love;

Bus'ness, whose hurry, noise and news

Even Natures self subdues;

Changes her best and first simplicity,

Her soft, her easie quiet
