42. Song

—— E. Waller

Go, lovely Ro—

Tell her that wastes her time and me,

That now she knows,

When I remble her to thee,

How sweet and fair she ems to be.

Tell her that’s young,

And shuns to have her graces spied,

That hadst thou sprung

Is where no men abide,

Thou must have unended died.

Small is the worth

Of beauty from the light retired:

Bid her e forth,

Suffer herlf to be desired,

And not blush so to be admired.

Thehat she

The on fate of all things rare

May read in thee;

How small a part of time they share

That are so wondrous sweet and fair!
