A SARANADE,
By the same.
SOft notes and gently rais'd, lest some harsh soundThe fair Corinna's rest do rudely wound;Diffuse a peaceful calmness through each part,Touch all the Springs of a soft Virgins heart,Tune every Pulse and kindle all her blood,And swell the torrents of the living Flood;Glide through her Dreams, and o'er her Fancies move,And stir up all the Images of Love.
Thus feeble Man does his advantage takeTo gain in sleep, what he must lose awake;
descriptionPage 257
When Night and Shades shut up Corinna's Charms,Then is the proper'st time to take up Arms;But Night and Shades her Beauties can't conceal,Night has peculiar Graces to reveal;Ten thousand Raptures do attend this time,Too strong for Fancy, and too full for Rhime.
