To morrow ere fresh M streak the East
With first approach of light, we must be risn,
And at our pleasant labour, to reform [ 625 ]
Yon flourie Arbors, yonder Allies green,
Our walk at noon, with branches rown,
That mock our st manuring, and require
More hands then ours to lop thir wanton growth:
Those Blossoms also, and those dropping Gumms, [ 630 ]
That lie bestrowne unsightly and unsmooth,
Ask riddance, if we mean to tread with ease;
Mean while, as Nature wills, Night bids us rest.
To whom thus Eve with perfet beauty adornd.
My Author and Disposer, what thou bidst [ 635 ]
Unargud I obey; so God ordains,
God is thy Law, thou mio know no more
Is womans happiest knowledge and her praise.
With thee versing I fet all time,
All seasons and thir ge, all please alike. [ 640 ]
Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest Birds; pleasant the Sun
When first on this delightful Land he spreads
His orient Beams, on herb, tree, fruit, and flour,
Glistring with dew; fragrant the fertil earth [ 645 ]
After soft showers; and sweet the ing on
Of grateful Eevning milde, then silent Night
With this her solemn Bird and this fair Moon,
And these the Gemms of Heavarrie train:
But her breath of Morn when she asds [ 650 ]
With charm of earliest Birds, nor rising Sun
On this delightful land, nor herb, fruit, floure,
Glistring with dew, nraer showers,
Nrateful Eevning mild, nor silent Night
With this her solemn Bird, nor walk by Moon, [ 655 ]
littering Starr-light without thee is sweet.
But wherfore all night long shihese, for whom
This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut all eyes?
To whom eneral Aor replid.
Daughter of God and Man, aplisht Eve, [ 660 ]
Those have thir course to finish, round the Earth,
By morrow Eevning, and from Land to Land
In order, though to Natio unborn,
Ministring light prepard, they set and rise;
Least total darkness should by Night regaine [ 665 ]
Her old possession, ainguish life
In Nature and all things, which these soft fires
Not only enlighten, but with kindly heate
Of various influenent and warme,
Temper or nourish, or in part shed down [ 670 ]
Thir stellar vertue on all kinds that grow
Oh, made hereby apter to receive
Perfe from the Suns more potent Ray.
