Pleasure never is at home | A |
At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth | B |
Like to bubbles when rain pelteth | B |
Then let wing egrave d Fancy wander | C |
Through the thought still spread beyond her | C |
Open wide the mind's cage door | D |
She'll dart forth and cloudward soar | D |
O sweet Fancy let her loose | E |
Summer's joys are spoilt by use | E |
And the enjoying of the Spring | F |
Fades as does its blossoming | F |
Autumn's red lipp'd fruitage too | G |
Blushing through the mist and dew | G |
Cloys with tasting What do then | H |
Sit thee by the ingle when | H |
The sear faggot blazes bright | I |
Spirit of a winter's night | I |
When the soundless earth is muffled | J |
And the cak egrave d snow is shuffled | J |
From the ploughboy's heavy shoon | H |
When the Night doth meet the Noon | H |
In a dark conspiracy | K |
To banish Even from her sky | L |
Sit thee there and send abroad | M |
With a mind self overawed | M |
Fancy high commission'd send her | C |
She has vassals to attend her | C |
She will bring in spite of frost | M |
Beauties that the earth hath lost | M |
She will bring thee all together | C |
All delights of summer weather | C |
All the buds and bells of May | N |
From dewy sward or thorny spray | N |
All the heap egrave d Autumn's wealth | B |
With a still mysterious stealth | B |
She will mix these pleasures up | O |
Like three fit wines in a cup | O |
And thou shalt quaff it thou shalt hear | P |
Distant harvest carols clear | Q |
Rustle of the reap egrave d corn | H |
Sweet birds antheming the morn | H |
And in the same moment hark | R |
'Tis the early April lark | R |
Or the rooks with busy caw | S |
Foraging for sticks and straw | S |
Thou shalt at one glance behold | M |
The daisy and the marigold | M |
White plumed lilies and the first | M |
Hedge grown primrose that hath burst | M |
Shaded hyacinth alway | T |
Sapphire queen of the mid May | N |
And every leaf and every flower | C |
Pearl egrave d with the self same shower | C |
Thou shalt see the fieldmouse peep | U |
Meagre from its cell egrave d sleep | U |
And the snake all winter thin | H |
Cast on sunny bank its skin | H |
Freckled nest eggs thou shalt see | K |
Hatching in the hawthorn tree | K |
When the hen bird's wing doth rest | M |
Quiet on her mossy nest | M |
Then the hurry and alarm | V |
When the beehive casts its swarm | W |
Acorns ripe down pattering | S |
While the autumn breezes sing | S |
- | |
O sweet Fancy let her loose | E |
Every thing is spoilt by use | E |
Where 's the cheek that doth not fade | M |
Too much gazed at Where 's the maid | M |
Whose lip mature is ever new | H |
Where 's the eye however blue | H |
Doth not weary Where 's the face | X |
One would meet in every place | X |
Where 's the voice however soft | M |
One would hear so very oft | M |
At a touch sweet Pleasure melteth | B |
Like to bubbles when rain pelteth | B |
Let then wing egrave d Fancy find | M |
Thee a mistress to thy mind | M |
Dulcet eyed as Ceres' daughter | C |
Ere the God of Torment taught her | C |
How to frown and how to chide | M |
With a waist and with a side | M |
White as Hebe's when her zone | H |
Slipt its golden clasp and down | H |
Fell her kirtle to her feet | M |
While she held the goblet sweet | M |
And Jove grew languid Break the mesh | Y |
Of the Fancy's silken leash | Z |
Quickly break her prison string | S |
And such joys as these she'll bring | S |
Let the wing egrave d Fancy roam | A |
Pleasure never is at home | A |
