L ively Spring, which makes all new.

I olly Spring doth enter.

S weet young sunbeams do subdue

A ngry, agèd Winter.

B lasts are mild, and seas are calm!

E very meadow flows with balm!

T he earth wears all her riches!

H armonious birds sing such a psalm

A s ear and heart bewitches!

R eserve, sweet Spring! this Nymph of ours,
