Whiche Flora depainted with many a colour,

Lyke a place of pleasure moste solacious,

Encensyng out the aromatike odoure

Of Zepherus breath, whiche that every floure

Through his fume doth alwaye engender.

So as I went among the flowres tender,

By sodayne chaunce a fayre path I founde,

On whiche I loked and ryght oft I mused,

And then all about I behelde the grounde

With the fayre path whiche I sawe so used.
