The woods, the rivers, and the meadows green,

With his air-cutting wings he measured wide,

Nor did he leave the mountains bare unseen,

Nor the rank grassy fens’ delights untried;

But none of these, however sweet they been,

Mote please his fancy, or him cause to abide;

His choiceful sense with every change doth flit,

No common things may please a wavering wit.

To the gay gardens his unstaid desire

Him wholly carried, to refresh his sprights;
