William Drummond - Poems: The First Part XXXVIII lyrics

The sun is fair when he with crimson crown, And flaming rubies, leaves his eastern bed; Fair is Thaumantias in her crystal gown, When clouds engemm'd hang azure, green, and red: To western worlds when wearied day goes down, And from Heaven's windows each star shows her head, Earth's silent daughter, night, is fair, though brown; Fair is the moon, though in love's livery clad; Fair Chloris is when she doth paint April, Fair are the meads, the woods, the floods are fair; Fair looketh Ceres with her yellow hair, And apples' queen when rose-cheek'd she doth smile. That heaven, and earth, and seas are fair is true, Yet true that all not please so much as you.
