Lost way being soon restor'd, with much delight
They Pranced on, till well Discern'd (glad Sight)
Great Duke VERDORUS walls and lofty Tow'rs;
Skies smiling round, Birds chanted from their Bow'rs,
On branches perch'd, conjoyn'd in joyful Song:
New-drest Fields, Groves appear'd, as march'd along
(Prime Summer's Garb) their Mistress t' Entertain;
Whilst Roses spread Skie's western Cheek again,
Like Morning first: and th' amorous Sun, as 't were,
Welcome. Good Night gave choice Clermanthe there.
They Pranced on, till well Discern'd (glad Sight)
