Her clothes are a fashion statement that he likes. She is not dressed as other women were, and this intrigues him. He wants corinna to get up and go enjoy the may festivities, and she is sinning by not getting out of bed. The poem is of great urgency, she must hurry or she will miss it. The sun is going to set, the dew has dried from the blooms, etc. The virgins all go to this parade. This poem has sexual undertones, hinting for her to go to the parade so she will find a mate and be able to have children.
