So breaks the day, when the returning Sun

Hath newly through his winter tropic run,

As You (Great Sir!) in this regress come forth

From the remoter climate of the North.

To tell You now what cares, what fears we past,

What clouds of sorrow did the land o'er-cast,

Were lost, but unto such as have been there,

Where the absented Sun benights the year:

Or have those countries travel'd, which ne'er feel

10The warmth and virtue of his flaming wheel.
