Ext Morning when the golden Sunne was risen,

And new had bid good morrow to the Mountaines;

When Night her siluer light had lockt in prison,

Which gaue a glimmering on the christall Fountaines:

Then ended sleepe: and then my cares began,

Eu'n with the vprising of the siluer Swan.

O glorious Sunne quoth I, (viewing the Sunne)

That lightenst euerie thing but me alone:

Why is my Summer season almost done?

My Spring-time past, and Ages Autumne gone?
