Love

Another Stanza added after

by Anonymous (Elizabethan miscellanies) c. 1575–1602

From England's Helicon (1600), ed. A. H. Bullen (1887)

Love

Thyrsis enjoy'd the graces
Of Chloris' sweet embraces,
Yet both their joys were scanted,
For dark it was and candlelight they wanted.
Wherewith kind Cynthia in the heaven that shin'd
Her nightly veil resigned.
And her fair face disclos'd
Where Love and Joy were met and both reposed:
Then each from other's looks such joy derived,
That both with mere delight died and revived.
