Give it Endimion's Love! whose ev'ry Teare,Would more enrich the skillfull Jeweller.How I command? how slowly they obey?The churlish Tartar, will not hunt to day:Nor will that lazy, sallow-Indian striveTo climbe the Rock, nor that dull Negro dive.Thus Poets like to Kings (by trust deceiv'd)Give oftner what is heard off, than receiv'd.
