[1] Morning:: morning knowledge, the knowledge of the origin or cause. Milking:: milk, to drain away the contents of (OED 4a). Farmer:: an ignorant rustic; a stupid or gauche person (OED 7c).
[2] Dawn, Teneriffe:: first sunlight to an island because of the location.
[3] Dice, Maid:: a gamble (risk) to a maid for her innocence.
[4, 5] Risk, Lover:: to dig the origin of the beloved is risky for the lover, who may only need to know what is revealed.
[6] date:: to trace the origin from a certain time. Epicures, Breakfast:: gluttons originate from the first meal of a day. by it:: by the morning knowledge.
[7] Brides, Apocalypse:: many explanations possible; e.g., Eve was the first bride after her revelation.
[8] Worlds, a Flood:: Flood, a disaster as human beings' morning.
[9, 10] Faith, Experiment:: God's test as the origin of Christian faith.
