What thynge occasionyd the showris of rayne,
Of fyre elementar in his supreme spere,
And of that pole artike whiche doth remayne
Behynde the taile of Vrsa so clere;
Of Pliades he prechid with ther drowsy chere,
Immoysturid with mislyng and ay droppyng dry,
And where the two Trions[1641] a man shold aspy,
And of the winter days that hy them so fast, 700
And of the wynter nyghtes that tary so longe,
And of the somer days so longe that doth[1642] last,
