Laura's Walk.
I.
THE Sun far sunk in his Descent,Laid now his Tyrant Rays aside,When Laura to the Garden went,To triumph over Natures Pride.
II.
The Rose-Buds blusht with deeper Dye,Envying Lillies paler grew;The Violets droopt with Fear to spieOn Laura's Veins a richer Blew.

III.
She stoopt and gather'd as she went,But whilst she slaughter'd sweetly Smil'd;As Angells tho' for Ruine sent,Appear with Looks serene and mild.
IV.
But now grown weary with her Toyl,A Garland for her Brow she frames:Thus with proud Trophies made o'th' spoil,Her Conquest o'er the Spring proclaims.
