Beyond the limits of the lengthened year,
}
To view a brighter sun in Britain born; }
That was the business of his longest morn; }
The glorious object seen, 'twas time to turn. }
}
Departing spring could only stay to shed }
Her gloomy beauties on the genial bed, }
But left the manly summer in her stead, }
With timely fruit the longing land to cheer,
