Than e'er was fung in meadow, bower, or dale. The fmiles of Abelah, and Maia's eyes, Where beauty plays, and love in ?umber lies; The fragrant hyacinths of Azza's hair, That wanton with the laughing fummer-a1r Love-tinftur'd cheeks, whence rofes feck their bloom, And lips, from which the Zephyr f'reals perfume Invite no more the wild, unpolifh'd lay.
