SONG.
[The Lark now leaves his watry Nest]
1
The Lark now leaves his watry NestAnd climbing, shakes his dewy VVings;
He takes this VVindow for the East;
And so implore your Light, he Sings,
Awake, awake, the Morn will never rise,
Till she can dress her Beauty at your Eies.
2
The Merchant bowes unto the Seamans Star,The Ploughman from the Sun his Season takes;
But still the Lover wonders what they are,
VVho look for day before his Mistress wakes.
Awake, awake, break through your Vailes of Lawne!
Then draw your Curtains, and begin the Dawne.
