Solomon |
Thou fair inhabitant of Nile, |
Rejoice thy lover with a smile! |
Queen |
O monarch, with each virtue bless’d, |
The brightest star that gilds the east: |
No joy I know beneath the sun, |
But what’s compris’d in Solomon. |
With thee, how quickly fled the winter’s night, |
And short is summer’s length of light. |
