Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
The Spring the new the warb'ling Spring appearsB
The youthful Season of reviving YearsB
In Spring the Loves enkindle mutual HeatsC
The feather'd Nation chuse their tuneful MatesD
The Trees grow fruitful with descending RainE
And drest in diff'ring Greens adorn the PlainE
She comes to morrow Beauty's Empress rovesD
Thro' Walks that winding run within the GrovesD
She twines the shooting Myrtle into Bow'rsD
And ties their meeting Tops with Wreaths of Flow'rsD
Then rais'd sublimely on her easy ThroneF
From Nature's pow'rful Dictates draws her ownF
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
'Twas on that Day which saw the teeming FloodG
Swell round impregnate with celestial BloodG
Wand'ring in Circles stood the finny CrewH
The midst was left a void Expanse of BlueH
There Parent Ocean work'd with heaving ThroesD
And dropping wet the fair Dione roseD
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
She paints the purple Year with vary'd showI
Tips the green Gem and makes the Blossom glowI
She makes the turgid Buds receive the BreezeD
Expand to Leaves and shade the naked TreesD
When gath'ring damps the misty Nights diffuseD
She sprinkles all the Morn with balmy DewsD
Bright trembling Pearls depend at ev'ry sprayJ
And kept from falling seem to fall awayJ
A glossy Freshness hence the Rose receivesD
And blushes sweet through all her silken LeavesD
The Drops descending through the silent NightK
While Stars serenely roll their golden LightK
Close 'till the Morn her humid Veil she holdsD
Then deckt with Virgin Pomp the Flow'r unfoldsD
Soon will the Morning blush Ye Maids prepareL
In rosy Garlands bind your flowing HairL
'Tis Venus' Plant The Blood fair Venus shedM
O'er the gay Beauty pour'd immortal RedM
From Love's soft Kiss a sweet Ambrosial SmellN
Was taught for ever on the Leaves to dwellN
From Gemms from Flames from orient Rays of LightK
The richest Lustre makes her Purple brightK
And she to morrow weds the sporting GaleO
Unties her Zone she bursts the verdant VeilO
Thro' all her Sweets the rifling Lover fliesD
And as he breaths her glowing Fires ariseD
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
Now fair Dione to the Myrtle GroveP
Sends the gay Nymphs and sends her tender LoveQ
And shall they venture is it safe to goI
While Nymphs have Hearts and Cupid wears a BowR
Yes safely venture 'tis his Mother's WillS
He walks unarm'd and undesigning illS
His Torch extinct his Quiver useless hungT
His Arrows idle and his Bow unstrungT
And yet ye Nymphs beware his Eyes have CharmsD
And Love that's naked still is Love in ArmsD
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
From Venus Bow'r to Delia's Lodge repairsD
A Virgin Train compleat with modest AirsD
Chast Delia grant our Suit or shun the WoodU
Nor stain this sacred Lawn with savage BloodG
Venis O Delia if she cou'd persuadeV
Wou'd ask thy Presence might she ask a MaidV
Here chearful Quires for three auspicious NightsD
With Songs prolong the pleasurable RitesD
Here Crouds in Measures lightly decent roveP
Or seek by Pairs the Covert of the GroveP
Where meeting Greens for Arbours arch aboveQ
And mingling Flowrets strow the Scenes of LoveQ
Here dancing Ceres shakes her golden SheavesD
Here Bacchus revels deckt with viny LeavesD
Here Wit's enchanting God in Lawrel crown'dW
Wakes all the ravish'd Hours with silver SoundW
Ye Fields ye Forests own Dione's ReignE
And Delia Huntress Delia shun the PlainE
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
Gay with the Bloom of all her opening YearX
The Queen at Hybla bids her Throne appearX
And there presides and there the fav'rite BandY
Her smiling Graces share the great CommandY
Now beauteous Hybla dress thy flow'ry BedsD
With all the Pride the lavish Season shedsD
Now all thy Colours all thy Fragrance yieldZ
And rival Enna's Aromatick FieldZ
To fill the Presence of the gentle CourtA2
From ev'ry Quarter rural Nymphs resortA2
From Woods from Mountains from their humble ValesD
From Waters curling with the wanton GalesD
Pleas'd with the joyful Train the laughing QueenB2
In Circles seats them round the Bank of greenB2
And 'lovely Girls she whispers guard your HeartsD
My Boy tho' stript of Arms abounds in ArtsD
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
Let tender Grass in shaded Allys spreadM
Let early Flow'rs erect their painted HeadM
To morrow's Glory be to morrow seenB2
That Day old Ether wedded Earth in greenB2
The Vernal Father bid the Spring appearX
In Clouds he coupled to produce the YearX
The Sap descending o'er her Bosom ranC2
And all the various sorts of Soul beganC2
By Wheels unknown to Sight by secret VeinsD
Distilling Life the fruitful Goddess reignsD
Through all the lovely Realms of native DayJ
Through all the circled Land and circling SeaD
With fertil Seed she fill'd the pervious EarthD2
And ever fix'd the mystick Ways of BirthD2
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
'Twas she the Parent to the Latian ShoreA
Through various Dangers Troy's Remainder boreA
She won Lavinia for her warlike SonE2
And winning her the Latian Empire wonE2
She gave to Mars the Maid whose honour'd WombF2
Swell'd with the Founder of immortal RomeG2
Decoy'd by Shows the Sabin Dames she ledM
And taught our vig'rous Youth the Means to wedM
Hence sprung the Romans hence the Race divineH2
Thro' which great C sar draws his Julian LineH2
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
In rural Seats the Soul of Pleasure reignsD
The Life of Beauty fills the rural ScenesD
Ev'n Love if Fame the Truth of Love declareL
Drew first the breathings of a rural AirL
Some pleasing Meadow pregnant Beauty prestI2
She laid her Infant on its flow'ry BreastI2
From Nature's Sweets he sipp'd the fragrant DewH
He smil'd he kiss'd them and by kissing grewH
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
-
Now Bulls o'er Stalks of Broom extend their SidesD
Secure of Favours from their lowing BridesD
Now stately Rams their fleecy Consorts leadM
Who bleating follow thro' the wand'ring ShadeV
And now the Goddess bids the Birds appearX
Raise all their Musick and salute the YearX
Then deep the Swan begins and deep the SongT
Runs o'er the Water where he sails alongT
While Philomela tunes a treble StrainE
And from the Poplar charms the list'ning PlainE
We fancy Love exprest at ev'ry NoteJ2
It melts it warbles in her liquid ThroatJ2
Of barb'rous Tereus she complains no moreA
But sings for Pleasure as for Grief beforeA
And still her Graces rise her Airs extendK2
And all is Silence 'till the Syren endK2
-
How long in coming is my lovely SpringT
And when shall I and when the Swallow singT
Sweet Philomela cease Or here I sitL2
And silent lose my rapt'rous Hour of WitL2
'Tis gone the Fit retires the Flames decayJ
My tuneful Ph bus flies averse awayJ
His own Amycle thus as Stories runE2
But once was silent and that once undoneE2
Let those love now who never lov'd beforeA
Let those who always lov'd now love the moreA
