They were engaged in enjoying the simple joys of nature in the country side. At that time they could not realized the real meaning of love making activities.

Here Donne says that he and his beloved as if were slept in a den like seven sleepers before they come closed to them. The pleasure before falling in love, were nothing but mere fancies in comparison with present pleasure. Donne is in adoration and admiration of his of his beloved. Donne got all sorts of beauty in his beloved. He discovered beauty in all unique forms in his beloved.
