Chapter 32 A SONG TO A FAIR YOUNG LADY, GOING OUT OF TOWN IN THE SPRING.

1 Ask not the cause, why sullen Spring

So long delays her flowers to bear;

Why warbling birds forget to sing,

And winter storms invert the year:

Chloris is gone, and fate provides

To make it Spring, where she resides.

2 Chloris is gone, the cruel fair;

She cast not back a pitying eye;

But left her lover in despair,

To sig
