Laura's Walk . I. THE Sun far sunk in his Descent , Laid now his Tyrant Rayes aside , When Laura to the Garden went , To Tryumph over Natures Pride . II . The Rose-Buds blusht with deeper Dye , The envying Lillies paler grew ; The Violets droopt with Fear to spy On Laura's Veins a richer Blew . III . She stoopt and gather'd as she went , But whilst she slaughter'd sweetly Smil'd ; As Angells tho for Ruin sent , Appear with Looks Serene and Mild . IV . But now grown weary with her Toyl , She sits and flow'ry Wreaths she frames ; Thus with proud Trophies made o'th' Spoyl , Her Conquest ore the Flow'rs proclaims .
