Fly not yet; ’t is just the hour
When pleasure, like the midnight flower
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,
Begins to bloom for sons of night
And maids who love the moon.

Fly not yet.

Like this to-night, that oh ’t is pain

  But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
  The same look which she turn’d when he rose.

Believe me, if all those endearing young Charms.
