Cloris Singing
H. Lawes
Yes, yes, 'tis Cloris sings, 'tis she;
Mark how the Nymphs and Shepheards all
Flock to her: so the Master Bee
The swarm leads with his awfull call;
So to the Thracian Lyre the floods
Resorted, and the listning woods:
So shoals of Dolphins on the green wav's spring,
When Doris or her Sea-born daughters sing.
And so her Notes ther hearts benum:
One looks pale, others eyes ore flow
With tears of pleasure, perhaps some,
Distill from sad hearts, teares of woe;
But as if fetter'd in a chain
To soft their passions felt no paine,
Shee stops no sooner, but th'inchanted throng
Straight cry, sweet Cloris sing an other song.
