And at our pleasant labour, to reform [ 625 ]

Not only enlighten, but with kindly heate

Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,

Ministring light prepard, they set and rise;

This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut all eyes?

Perfection from the Suns more potent Ray.

In order, though to Nations yet unborn,

With thee conversing I forget all time,

Those Blossoms also, and those dropp九九藏書ing Gumms, [ 630 ]

Nor grateful Eevning mild, nor silent Night

Her old possession, and extinguish life

On Earth, made hereby apter to receive

With charm of earliest Birds, nor rising Sun

My Author and Disposer, what thou bidst [ 635 ]

Thir stellar vertue on all kinds that grow

On this delightful land, nor herb, fruit, floure,

Yon flourie Arbors, yonder Allies green,

Daughter of Go九_九_藏_書d and Man, accomplisht Eve, [ 660 ]

God is thy Law, thou mine: to know no more

Least total darkness should by Night regaine [ 665 ]

All seasons and thir change, all please alike. [ 640 ]

In Nature and all things, which these soft fires

Of grateful Eevning milde, then silent Night

Is womans happiest knowledge and her praise.

With charm of earliest Birds; pleasant the Sun

When fhttps://read.99csw.comirst on this delightful Land he spreads

By morrow Eevning, and from Land to Land

But wherfore all night long shine these, for whom

Temper or nourish, or in part shed down [ 670 ]

With this her solemn Bird, nor walk by Moon, [ 655 ]

To morrow ere fresh Morning streak the East

Our walk at noon, with branches overgrown,

That lie bestrowne unsightly and unsmooth,

With this her solemn Bｈｔｔps://reaｄ.9９csｗ•coｍird and this fair Moon,

But neither breath of Morn when she ascends [ 650 ]

His orient Beams, on herb, tree, fruit, and flour,

Or glittering Starr-light without thee is sweet.

That mock our scant manuring, and require

Glistring with dew; fragrant the fertil earth [ 645 ]

Unargud I obey; so God ordains,

And these the Gemms of Heavn, her starrie train:

With first approach of light, we must be ris九九藏書n,

Of various influence foment and warme,

Ask riddance, if we mean to tread with ease;

Glistring with dew, nor fragrance after showers,

To whom thus Eve with perfet beauty adornd.

Those have thir course to finish, round the Earth,

Mean while, as Nature wills, Night bids us rest.

After soft showers; and sweet the coming on

To whom our general Ancestor replid.

More hands then ours to lop thir wanton growth:
