1 Rose-cheek’d Laura, come,
2
Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty’s
3
Silent music, either other
4
Sweetly gracing.
5
Lovely forms do flow
6
From concent divinely framed;
7
Heav’n is music, and thy beauty’s
8
Birth is heavenly.
9
These dull notes we sing
10
Discords need for helps to grace them;
11
Only beauty purely loving
12
Knows no discord,
13
But still moves delight,
14
Like clear springs renew’d by flowing,
15
Ever perfect, ever in them-
16
Selves eternal.
Notes
6 concent: harmony
