One while, a scorching Indignation burnes

The Flowers and Blosomes of our Hopes, away;

Which into Scarsitie, our Plentie turnes,

And, changeth vnmowne-Grasse to parched-Hay;

Anon, his fruitfull showres, and pleasing dewes,

Commixt with cheerefull Rayes, he sendeth downe;

And then the Barren-earth her cropp renewes,

Which with rich Harvests, Hills, and Vallies Crowne:

For, as to relish Ioyes, he sorrow sends,

So, Comfort on Temptation, still, attends.
