The same thought is repeated with greater simplicity, and perhaps even beauty, in the beginning of the Fifth Book:

With tresses discompos’d and glowing cheek,

As through unquiet rest: he on his side

Hung over her enamour’d, and beheld

Beauty, which whether waking or asleep

Shot forth peculiar graces; then, with voice

Mild, as when Zephyrus on Flora breathes,
