Sweet bud to Myra’s bosom go And live beneath her eye; There in the sun of beauty blow Or taste of heaven and die Sweet earnest of the Blooming year, Whose dawning beauties speak The budding blush of summer neaaaaar, The summer on her check. Bless’d emblem of the maid I love, Resembling beauty’s morn, To Myra’s bosom hast, and prove One rose without a thorn
