8 HYMN TO VENUS HYMN TO VENUS THE SADNESS OF THINGS FOR SAPPHO'S SICKNESS T ILIES will languish; violets look ill; Sickly the primrose; pale the daffodil; That gallant tulip will hang down his head, Like to a virgin newly ravished; Pansies will weep, and marigolds will wither, And keep a fast and funeral together; If Sappho droop, daisies will open never, But bid good-night, and close their lids for ever. THE WAKE Anthea, let us two Go to Feast, as others do. Tarts and Custards, Creams and Cake...s, Are the Junkets still at Wakes: Unto which the Tribes resort, Where the business is the sport: Morris-dancers thou shalt see, Marian too in Pagentrie: And a Mimick to devise Many grinning properties. Players there will be and those Base in action as in clothes: Yet with strutting they will please The insurious Villages. Near the dying of the day, There will be a Cudgell-Play Where a Coxcomb will be broke, Ere a good word can be spoke: But the anger ends all here, Drencht in Ale, or drown'd in Beere.
