O come my Love,
,
tis I invites,
All around looks frefh and fair;
A warmer heart can ne’er intreat,
For thou alone art all my care;
See how the Sun with genial rays,
Lifts his head and calls on you;
With yellow, gilding Tinto’s braes,
Ami chears his towVing fhaggy brow;
The meadow, vale, and upland fhaws,
Like enchanted fcene^ are f een;
And bufy bufy feems the Bee,
From every flow’r a kifs to gain,
But, morn with all its gaudy fmiles,
Is not half fo fweet as thee;
Nor yet the hour that care beguiles.
So dear to the deftrefs’d can be;
The droping day to corn and grafs,
When the earth is parch’d and dry*
Affordeth not the happinefs
' 1 feel, when in thy company;
Not yellow Autumn thick with fheaves,
More can P

Than the propitious moment gives,
Which brings the Maid for whom I figh<
