Let those love now, who never lov'd before ; Let those who always lov'd, now love the more. The spring, the new, the warbling spring appears, The youthful season of reviving years ; In spring the loves enkindle mutual heats, The feather'jd nation choose their tuneful mates, The trees grow fruitful with descending rain And drest in differing greens adorn the plain. She comes ; to-morrow Beauty's empress roves Through walks that winding run within the groves; She twines the shooting myrtle into bowers, And ties their meeting tops with wreaths of flowers, PERVIGILIUM VENERIS.Cras amet, quinumquam amavit; quique amavit,eras amet.Ver novum, ver jam canorum: vere natusorbis est, Vere concordant amores, vere nubent alites, Et nemus comam resolvit de maritis imbribus. Craa amorum copulatrix inter umbras arborum Implicat gazas virentes de flagello myrteo. Then rais'd sublimely on her easy throne, From Nature's powerful dictates draws her own. Let those love now, who never lov'd before; Let those who always lov'd, now love the more. 'Twas on that day which saw the teeming flood Swell round, impregnate with celestial blood; Wandering in circles stood the finny crew, The midst was left a void expanse of blue; There parent Ocean work'd with heaving throes, And dropping wet the fair Dione rose. Let those love now, who never lov'd before ; Let those who always lov'd, now love the more. She paints the purple year with varied show, Tips the green gem, and makes the blossom glow,Crag Dione dicit, jura full a sublimi throno.
