[XXI. Sister awake close not your eies]

Sister awake close not your eies, the day her light discloses, and the bright morning doth arise, Out of her bed of Roses: See, the cleere Sunne, the worlds bright Eie, in at our window peeping: peeping, Loe how he blusheth, to espie vs idle wenches sleeping, therfore awake make hast I say, and let vs without staying, all in our gowns of greene so gaye, into the Parke a Maying.
