AH how sweet are the cooling breeze,
|
and the blooming Trees,
|
when into his bower,
|
Love guides Musidora!
|
When we meet there,
|
The Nightingales sing pritty Tales,
|
Mistaking my dear,
|
for their Goddess Aurora:
|
jessamines and Roses,
|
A Thousand pretty poses,
|
The summers Queen discloses,
|
and Strews as she walks;
|
Oh, Venus! oh! how sweet are the cooling breeze?
|
And the Blooming Trees,
|
when into his Bower
|
Love guides Musidora:
|
passion, Devotion,
|
she gains with each motion
|
Lutes too, and flutes to,
|
Are heard when she talks:
|
Oh Venus! Oh how sweet
|
are the cooling breeze, and the blooming Trees,
|
when into his Bower,
|
Love Guides Musidora!
|
Then Apollo comes with his Train,
|
And moves on the plain,
|
To sweeten the pleasures,
|
of fair Musidora,
|
so charming sweet,
|
That never was Goddess so blest
|
with the Rural delights,
|
In the presence of Flora;
|
The sweetest of flowers,
|
also dect her Shady Bowers,
|
Where sent by summer showers,
|
sweet pleasant and gay,
|
Ah Flora, ah how sweet are thy rich perfumes?
|
And thy summer blooms,
|
when mighty Apollo,
|
attends Musidora!
|
Treasure with pleasure,
|
And charms out of Measure,
|
Found her, and Crown'd her,
|
the new Queen of May,
|
Ah Flora! ah! how sweet are thy rich perfumes?
|
And thy summer Blooms,
|
while mighty Apollo,
|
Attends Musidora
|
Ah! how sweet are the pleasant Notes
|
from the Chanting Throats,
|
of Birds that are singing
|
In presence of Flora?
|
on the Green Trees.
|
To set forth the praise of my dear,
|
And beautiful Saint,
|
Whom i stile Musidora,
|
e'ery swain advances,
|
To view her youthful glances,
|
And pritty Cupids dances,
|
Round her with their Bows,
|
Oh Venus! Oh how sweet is the Blooming spring!
|
When the small Birds sing,
|
in praise of my jewel,
|
Compar'd to Aurora?
|
Towers and Bowers,
|
With Garlands of Flowers,
|
Graces the places,
|
where ever she goes,
|
Oh Venus, oh how sweet is the blooming springs,
|
how the Valleys ring,
|
while to the green Bower,
|
love Guides Musidora!
