When Laura smiles her sight revives both night and day, The earth and heav'n views with delight her wanton play And her speech with everflowing music doth repair, The cruel wounds of sorrow and untam'd despair. And her speech with everflowing music doth repair, The cruel wounds of sorrow and untam'd despair. See where the sprites that remain in fleeting air, Affect for pastime to untwine her tressed hair, And the birds think sweet Aurora Morning's queen doth shine From her bright sphere when Laura shows her looks divine. And the birds think sweet Aurora Morning's queen doth shine From her bright sphere when Laura shows her looks divine. Diana's eye's are not adorned with greater power Than Laura's, when she lifts awhile for sport to lure. But when she her eyes encloseth, blindness doth appear The chiefest grace of beauty sweetly seated there. But when she her eyes encloseth, blindness doth appear The chiefest grace of beauty sweetly seated there. Love hath no fire but what he steals from her bright eyes. Time hath no power but that which in her pleasure lies. For her with her divine beauties all the world subdues, And fills with heavenly spirits my humble Muse. For her with her divine beauties all the world subdues, And fills with heavenly spirits my humble Muse.
