Second Chap. of the Cant. from the 10. verse, to the 13.
I
'Twas my Beloved spake,I know his charming Voice, I heard him say,
Rise up my Love, my fairest one awake,
Awake and come away.
II
The Winter all is pastAnd stormy Winds that with such rudeness blew,
The Heavens are no longer overcast,
But try to look like you.
III
The Flowers their Sweets display,The Birds in short præludiums tune their throat,
The Turtle in low murmurs does essay
Her melancholy Note.
IV
The fruitful Vineyards makeAn odorous Smell, the Fig looks fresh and gay,
Arise my Love, my fairest one awake,
Awake and come away.
