MENALCAS.

Nay tell me first, in what new Region springs

A Flow'r, that bears inscrib'd the names of Kings:
And thou shalt gain a Present as Divine165
As Phœbus self; for Phillis shall be thine.

PALAEMON.

So nice a diff'rence in your Singing lyes,

That both have won, or both deserv'd the Prize.
Rest equal happy both; and all who prove
The bitter Sweets, and pleasing Pains of Love.170
Now dam the Ditches, and the Floods restrain:
Their moisture has already drench'd the Plain.
