Late he abie a Place of Pleasure lay,
All fairly deckt in Sweets of fairest May.
Where silkie Thighs in Dew Grass-hoppers bath'd;
And merry cherruping, so rosie breath'd.
Ye Surrey Swains! and Surrey Swains have bliss;
I dare Ye show so soft a Shade as this!
Atween the dewie Leaves as Air was blown,
The dewie Leaves yquivered every one.
