Roses, damask, buds

Love’s Labor’s Lost, [5.2.291-298]. Boyet. “They will, they will, God knows,/ And leap for joy, though they are lame with blows./ Therefore change favors; and, when they repair,/ Blow like sweet roses in this summer air.” Princess. “How blow? How blow? Speak to be understood.” Boyet. “Fair ladies mask’d are roses in their bud;/ Dismask’d, their damask sweet commixture shown,/ Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.”
