Where Flora her frolics had play’d,

Unveiling her charms to the day;

The warblers awaken’d the song,

The dew-drops hung down on the thorn,

The Zephyrs went gently along,

And Phœbus embellish’d the morn.

In rapture I went through the grove,

Delighted with richest perfume,

Saw nature devoted to love,

And the birds their fond labours resume;
