Rose cheek'd Laura, come Matches original text
Language: English
Rose cheek'd Laura, come, Sing thou sweetly 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 heav'nly. These dull notes we sing Discords need for helps to grace them; Only beauty purely loving Knows no discord, But still moves delight, Like clear springs renew'd by flowing, Ever perfect, ever in them- Selves eternal.
