Re-clothed in fresh and verdant Diaper.

Thaw'd are the snows, and now the lusty Spring

Gives to each mead a neat enamelling.

The Palms put forth their Gemmes, and every tree

Now swaggers in her leavy gallantry.

Herrick.


Ye who have felt and seen

Spring's morning smiles and soul enlivening green,

Say, did you give the thrilling transport way?
