A S I walkt forth to take the Air, upon a Summers day, Serrella and his Nymph so fair, was in the Field so gay: He Courted her upon the grass, her charming looks was such, The Mary-Gold he might not unclose, nor yet the Rose to touch.
But now the Little Blinded God, had pierct his tender heart, And blow'd the Coals of fiery Love, to ease him of his smart: Though Coy at first she seem'd to be, and with him she did chide, Yet he did pluck the mary-gold, and sweetest Rose beside.
For now Serrella boulder grew, impatient of delay, And swore by all the powers of Love, he could no longer stay: Nor would he break the gordion knot, which he so firmly ty'd But he must pluck the M arygold, I and the Rose beside. The Nymph whose tender heart did yeld to her Serrellas Charms With smiling looks she came to him, and claspt him in her arms: Quoth she thou hast me over-come, and I do yield to thee, The marygold and sweetest Rose, and to them thou shalt be free. And now our joys do still increase, in Love we will agree, Our sweet embraces still abound, and equal harmony: The pleasant Groves do sweetly crown, our blisses night and day, A nd now the marygold his own, I and the Rose so gay.
The Fort that ne're before was won, to thee I now resign. My self and all I have quoth she, for ever shall be thine: These sweet enticing charms of love, do make me yield to thee, The marygold and sweetest Rose, and to them thou shalt be free. Laretta now the wound would cure, which she before had made, And her Serrellas scorching flames, was now by her allay'd, Into Celestial joys they were, both brought without delay, In opening of the marygold, I and the Rose so gay. And now under the shady trees, we'l sweetly sit and sing, Whilst birds with their delightful notes do make the Woods to ring: And Celebrate the happiness, of our most sweet repose, In opening of the marygold, I and the sweetest Rose,
