Dwells in your looks, Light's chariot driven hence,

That your sole presence can create a spring,

From winter's frozen bands can loose each thing,

From earth's entombing sepulchre can raise

[1200]Each sleeping flow'r, to chant forth Maia's praise.

This made amazement seize my mind to view

Half-agèd winter bid so soon adieu

To this Elysium of the pagans' joy.

And Chloris, with her new-brush'd clothes so coy

Before, and hardly to be won, come forth
