A Ditty to the tune of Coseferite,
made by Lorenzo Allegre to one sleeping to be sung.
Ah wonder.
So fair a Heaven
So fair, &c.
And no Starr shining,
Ay me, and no Starr, &c.
'Tis past my divining.
So fair a Heaven
So fair, &c.
And no Starr shining,
Ay me, and no Starr, &c.
'Tis past my divining.
Yet stay.
May not perchance this be some rising Morn?
Which in the scorn
Of our Worlds light discloses,
This Air of Violets, that Sky of Roses?
Tis so.

Which in the scorn
Of our Worlds light discloses,

An Oriental Sphere
Doth open and appear,
Ascending bright.
Then since thy hymen I chant
May'st thou new pleasures grant.
Admired light.
