The birds aforesaid, happy pairs!
Love ’midst the aforesaid boughs enshrines,
In household nests, themselves, their heirs,
Administrators and assigns.
The songs of the said birds arouse
The memory of our youthful hours,
As young and green as the said boughs,
As fresh and fair as the said flowers.
Oh, busiest term of Cupid’s court!
Where tender plaintiffs actions bring;
