Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCBDEEEFF GHIGHJIKLJMAMAAEEHNH EEEEOOPPQRPhoebus arise | A |
And paint the sable skies | A |
With azure white and red | B |
Rouse Memnon's mother from her Tithon's bed | B |
That she may thy career with roses spread | B |
The nightingales thy coming each where sing | C |
Make an eternal spring | C |
Give life to this dark world which lieth dead | B |
Spread forth thy golden hair | D |
In larger locks than thou wast wont before | E |
And emperor like decore | E |
With diadem of pearl thy temples fair | E |
Chase hence the ugly night | F |
Which serves but to make dear thy glorious light | F |
- | |
This is that happy morn | G |
That day long wished day | H |
Of all my life so dark | I |
If cruel stars have not my ruin sworn | G |
And fates my hopes betray | H |
Which purely white deserves | J |
An everlasting diamond should it mark | I |
This is the morn should bring unto this grove | K |
My Love to hear and recompense my love | L |
Fair King who all preserves | J |
But show thy blushing beams | M |
And thou two sweeter eyes | A |
Shalt see than those which by Peneus' streams | M |
Did once thy heart surprise | A |
Now Flora deck thyself in fairest guise | A |
If that ye winds would hear | E |
A voice surpassing far Amphion's lyre | E |
Your furious chiding stay | H |
Let Zephyr only breathe | N |
And with her tresses play | H |
The winds all silent are | E |
And Phoebus in his chair | E |
Ensaffroning sea and air | E |
Makes vanish every star | E |
Night like a drunkard reels | O |
Beyond the hills to shun his flaming wheels | O |
The fields with flowers are decked in every hue | P |
The clouds with orient gold spangle their blue | P |
Here is the pleasant place | Q |
And nothing wanting is save She alas | R |
