To his flowers here, ope when he shuts his eye,

And shuts when he doth open, crown your sports:

Now Love in Night, and Night in Love exhorts

Courtship and dances: all your parts employ,

And suit Night's rich expansure with your joy.470

Love paints his longings in sweet virgins' eyes:

Rise, youths! Love's rite claims more than banquets; rise!

Rise, virgins! let fair nuptial loves enfold

Your fruitless breasts: the maidenheads[110] ye hold

Are not your own alone, but parted are;
