ROSE-CHEEK'D Laura, come; Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty's Silent music, either other       Sweetly gracing.

  Lovely forms do flow From concent divinely framed: Heaven is music, and thy beauty's       Birth is heavenly.

  But still moves delight, Like clear springs renew'd by flowing, Ever perfect, ever in them-       selves eternal.
