A Calme.
Cease Warring ThoughtsCease Warring Thoughts, and let his Brain no more discord entertain, but be smooth and calm again; Ye Christal Rivers that are nigh, as your Streams are passing by, teach your murmurs Harmony; Ye Winds that wait upon the Spring, and perfumes to Flowers do bring, let your Amorous whispers here, breath soft Musick to his ear; Ye warbling Nightingals repair from every Wood to charm this air; and with the wonders of your brest, each striving to excel the rest, when it is time to 'wake him, close your Parts, and drop down from the Trees with broken hearts.
