Rose cheek'd Laura, come!

Rose cheek'd Laura, come!
Sing thou sweetly with thy beauty's silent music,
either other Sweetly gracing.
Lovely forms do flow
From consent divinely framed,
Heav'n is music, and thy beauty's Birth is heav'nly.
These dull notes we sing
Discords need for help to grace them;
Only beauty purely loving
Knows no discord,
But still moves delight,
Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
Ever perfect, ever in themselves eternal.

by Thomas Campion (1567-1620)
