The speaker points this woman to architectural features of houses "made up of whitethorn neatly interwove, / As if here were those cooler shades of love." This woman is told to "Take no care / For jewels for your gown or hair," as "the leaves will strew / Gems in abundance upon you." The speaker notes that when he or this woman "are made / A fable, song, or fleeting shade, / All love, all liking, all delight / Lies drowned with us in endless night." The speaker of the poem laments that "Each flower has wept and bowed toward the east / Above an hour since, yet you not (*) dressed," to elaborate on his opening plea for this woman to "Get up! get up for shame!" This woman is asked to perform the title action of the poem with the speaker "while time serves, and we are but decaying." For 10 points, name this woman who, in a poem by Robert Herrick, is "Going A-Maying."
