_Chor_.--And stills the bride too when she cries:
2. Then to the chin, the cheek, the ear, It frisks and flies; now here, now there; 'Tis now far off, and then 'tis near; _Chor_.--And here, and there, and everywhere. 1. Has it a speaking virtue?--2. Yes. 1. How speaks it, say?--2. Do you but this, Part your join'd lips, then speaks your kiss; _Chor_.--And this love's sweetest language is. 1. Has it a body?--2. Aye, and wings, With thousand rare encolourings; And, as it flies, it gently sings, _Chor_.--Love honey yields, but never stings. TO DAFFODILS. 1 Fair daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attain'd his noon: Stay, stay Until the hast'ning day Has run But to the even-song; And, having pray'd together, we Will go with you along! |
