I feel my life decay; That powerful noise Calls my fleeting soul away. Oh! suppress that magic sound, Which destroys without a wound. 2 Peace, Chloris! peace! or singing die, That together you and I To heaven may go; For all we know Of what the blessed do above, Is, that they sing, and that they love. GO, LOVELY ROSE! 1 Go, lovely Rose! Tell her that wastes her time and me, That now she knows, When I resemble her to thee, How sweet and fair she seems to be. 2 Tell her that's young, And shuns to... have her graces spied, That hadst thou sprung In deserts, where no men abide, Thou must have uncommended died. 3 Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retired; Bid her come forth, Suffer herself to be desired, And not blush so to be admired. 4 Then die! that she The common fate of all things rare May read in thee; How small a part of time they share That are so wondrous sweet and fair! SUNG BY MRS KNIGHT TO HER MAJESTY, ON HER BIRTHDAY. This happy day two lights are seen, A glorious saint, a matchless queen;[1]Both named alike, both crown'd appear, The saint above, th'Infanta here.
