Excerpt from Flowers and Fancies: Valentines Ancient and Modern Besides, the childhood of the day has kept, Against you come, some orient pearls unwept. Come, and receive them while the light Hangs on the dew-locks of the night: And T itan, on the eastern hill, Retires himself, or else stands still Till you come forth. Wash, dress, be brief in praying; Few beads are best when once we go a-maying. Come, my Corinna, come; and, coming, mark How each field turns a street, each street a park Made green, and trimmed with trees; see how Devotion gives each house a bough Or branch; each porch, each door, ere this, An ark, a tabernacle is, Made up of white thorn neatly interwove; As if here were those cooler shades of love. Can such delights be in the street And open fields, and we not see 't? Come, we'll abroad, and let 's obey The proclamation made for May; And sin no more, as we have done, by staying, But, my Corinna, come, let's go a-maying. There 's not a budding boy or girl this day, But is got up, and gone to bring in May. A deal of youth, ere this, is come Back, and with white thorn laden home. Some have despatched their cakes and cream Before that we have left to dream; And some have wept, and wooed, and plighted troth, And chose their priest, ere we can cast off sloth: Many a green gown has been given Many a kiss, both odd and even.
