Cloris and Fanny

Cloris! if I were Persia’s king,
  I’d make my graceful queen of thee;
While FANNY, wild and artless thing,
  Should but thy humble handmaid be.

There is but one objection in it—
  That, verily, I’m much afraid
I should, in some unlucky minute,
  Forsake the mistress for the maid.
