SONG XXXI.
Dialogue.
Strephon.Come my Daphne! come away!
We do wast the Christal day:
Daphne.
'Tis Strephon call's, what would my love?
Strephon.
Come follow to the myrtle Grove,
Where Venus shall prepare,
Fresh Chaplets for thine hair.
Daphne.
Were I shut up within a tree,
I'd rend my bark to follow thee.
Strephon.
My Shepardess make hast,
The Minutes slide too fast.
In those Cooler shades will I,
Blind as Cupid kiss thine eye,
122
In such warm Snow who will not lose his way.
Chorus.
We'l laugh and leave this world behind,
And God's themselves that see,
Shall Envy thee and me,
But never know such Joyes,
When they Embrace a Deity.
