Se how the lusty morrow dois upspring!”
Methocht fresche May befoir my bed upstude,
In weid depaynt of mony diverse hew,
Sober, benyng, and full of mansuetude,
In bright atteir of flouris forgit new,
Hevinly of color, quhyt, reid, brown, and blew,
Balmit in dew, and gilt with Phebus’ bemys;
Quhil al the house illumynit of her lemys.
William Dunbar, 1465–1530.
