To the Rose. Song.
1.
GOe happy Rose, and enterwoveWith other Flowers, bind my Love.Tell her too, she must not be,Longer flowing, longer free,That so oft has fetter'd me.
2.
Say (if she's fretfull) I have bandsOf Pearle, and Gold, to bind her hands:Tell her, if she struggle still,I have Mirtle rods, (at will)For to tame, though not to kill.
3.
Take thou my blessing, thus, and goe,And tell her this, but doe not so,Left a handsome anger flye,Like a Lightning, from her eye,And burn thee'up, as well as I.
