Have you e'er seen the morning sun
H. Lawes
Have you e'er seen the Morning Sun
From fair
Aurora
's bosom run?
Or have you seen on
Flora
's Bed
The Essences of white and red?
Then you may boast, for you have seen,
My Fairer
Chloris
, Beauties Queen.
Have you e'er pleas'd your skilful Ears,
With the sweet Musick of the Spheres?
Have you e'er hear'd the Syrens sing,
Or
Orpheus
play to Hells black King?
If so, be happy and rejoyce,
For thou hast heard my
Chloris
voice.
Have you e'er smelt what Chymick Skill,
From Rose or Amber doth distill?
Have you been near that sacrifice
The Phœnix makes before she dies?
Then you can tell (I do presume)
My
Chloris
is the World's Perfume.
Have you e'er tasted what the Bee,
Steals from each fragrant Flower or Tree?
Or did you ever taste that meat,
Which Poets say that Gods did eat?
O then I will no longer doubt
But you have found my
Chloris
out.
