On Beds of Vi'lets, all the Day,

The Charming Floriana lay;

The little Cupids hover'd in the Air,

They peep'd and smil'd, and thought their Mother there.

Phœbus delay'd his Course a while,

Charm'd with the spell of such a Smile,

Whilst weary Plough-men curs'd the stay,

Of the too Uxorious Day:

The little Cupids hover'd in the Air,

They peep'd and smil'd, and thought their Mother there.
