Ayres, and dialogues | ||
Chloris landing at Berlington.
Amintor.See, see! my Chloris, my Chloris comes in yonder Bark:
Blow gently winds, for if ye sink that Ark,
you'l drown the world with tears, and at one breath,
give to us all a universal death:
Hark, hark how Arion on a Dolphin playes,
to my sweet Sheepherdess his roundelayes:
See how the Sirens flock to wait upon her,
as Queen of Love, and they her Maids of honor.
Behold, Great Neptune's risen from the deep
with all his Tritons, and begins to sweep
the rugged waves into a smoother form,
not leaving one small wrinkle of a storm:
2
See how her beauty doth the fish amaze;
the Whales have begg'd this boon of wind and weather,
that on their backs they may convey her hither;
And see she Lands just like the rising Sun,
that leaves the Brynie Lake when night is done:
Fly, fly Amintor to thy Envi'd bliss,
and let not th'Earth, rob thee of her greeting kiss.
