Comparison.
Our Gospel has had here a Summers day;
But in its Sun-shine we, like Fools, did play.
Or else fall out, and with each other wrangle,
And did in stead of work not much but jangle.
But in its Sun-shine we, like Fools, did play.
Or else fall out, and with each other wrangle,
And did in stead of work not much but jangle.
And if our Sun seems angry, hides his face,
Shall it go down, shall Night possess this place?
Let not the voice of night-Birds us afflict,
And of our mis-spent Summer us convict.

Let not the voice of night-Birds us afflict,
And of our mis-spent Summer us convict.
