While the still morn went out with Sandals gray,
He touch'd the tender stops of various Quills,
With eager thought warbling his Dorick lay:
And now the Sun had stretch'd out all the hills, 190
And now was dropt into the Western bay;
At last he rose, and twitch'd his Mantle blew:
To morrow to fresh Woods, and

Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out 80

Reflecting light upon the table as
The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,
From satin cases poured in rich profusion.
