Sweetly breathing vernal air,

That with kind warmth doth repair

Winter’s ruins; from whose breast

All the gums and spice of th’ East

Borrow their perfumes; whose eye

Gilds the morn and clears the sky;

Whose disshevel’d tresses shed

Pearls upon the violet-bed;

On whose brow, with calm smiles drest,

The halcyon sits and builds her nest;
