On Chloris Standing By The Fire Poem by William Strode

On Chloris Standing By The Fire

Rating: 3.2


Faire Chloris, standing by the Fire,
An amorous coale with hot desire
Leapt on her breast, but could not melt
The chaste snow there--which when it felt
For shame it blusht; and then it died
There where resistance did abide,
And lest she should take it unkind
Repentant ashes left behind.
