16. The Comparison.

Have you beheld the Apple-trees
How they will moulder by degrees
In luke-warm Autumn, and how bare
In winter time their bodies are?
Then they are dead, but when the spring
Her plant-reviving bell shall ring,
These withered trees begin again
To dresse themselves, and all the train
Of saplesse suckets that were dead,
With verdure will b'invelloped.
So 'tis with my faire Rose, for she
But now ('cause with frigiditie
She's toucht) seem'd dul and dead; but when
Loves spring returns, she'l love agen;
So that the tender plant and tree
With my blest Roses love agree:
Onely they differ in the time,
(Which makes her vertue more sublime)
The trees receive reviving power
But once a year, she every houre.
