As heir to Julius, she may pretendA second time to make this island bend;But Portsmouth, springing from the ancient raceOf Britons, which the Saxon here did chase, As they great Cæsar did oppose, makes head, And does against this new invader lead. 10That goodly nymph, the taller of the two, Careless and fearless to the field does go. Becoming blushes on the other wait, And her young look excuses want of height. Beauty gives courage; for she knows the dayMust not be won the Amazonian way. Legion...s of Cupids to the battle come, For Little Britain these, and those for Rome. Dress'd to advantage, this illustrious pairArrived, for combat in the list appear. 20What may the Fates design! for never yetFrom distant regions two such beauties met. Venus had been an equal friend to both, And vict'ry to declare herself seems loth;Over the camp, with doubtful wings, she flies, Till Chloris shining in the fields she spies. The lovely Chloris well-attended came, A thousand Graces waited on the dame;Her matchless form made all the English glad, 29And foreign beauties less assurance had;Yet, like the Three on Ida's top, they allPretend alike, contesting for the ball;Which to determine, Love himself declined, Lest the neglected should become less kind.
