Whom lovely Venus, at a birth,

With [two sister Graces more], 15

To ivy-crowned Bacchus bore:

Or whether (as some sager sing)

[The frolic wind] that breathes the spring,

Zephyr, with Aurora playing,

As he met her once a-Maying, 20

There, on beds of violets blue,

And fresh-blown roses washed in dew,

Filled her with thee, a daughter fair,
