Chapter 23 No.23

Ceres, Great Goddess of the bounteous Year,

Who load'st the Teeming Earth with Gold and Grain,

Blessing the Labours of th' Industrious Swain,

And to their Plaints inclin'st thy gracious Ear:

Behold two fair Cicilian Lovers lie

Prostrate before thy Deity;

Imploring thou wilt grant the Just Desires

Of two Chaste Hearts that burn
