ROSE-CHEEKED Laura, come;
Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty's
Silent music, either other
Sweetly gracing.
Lovely forms do flow
From concent divinely framed;
Heaven is music, and thy beauty's
Birth is heavenly.
These dull notes we sing / Discords need for helps to grace them, / Only beauty purely loving / Knows no discord.
But still moves delight, / Like clear springs renewed by flowing, / Ever perfect, ever in them- / Selves eternal.
