Upon the King and Queens meeting after long absence.
The welcome showers of Aprils morning dew
Distill'd upon the Bosom of the Earth
Beget a May; whose Liverie anew
Cloaths Fields and Woods, and there creates such mirth
Amidst the winged Quier; that Eccho tells
It ore again from Natures Minstrells.

The Spicie Gumms that so perfume the East,
To bid the Sun good-morrow; are not more
Esteem'd for that, than is the golden West,
But that of Treasures Both have hidden store,
Is manifest: no perils can deter
The forward hopes of the Adventurer.

No world, no season, spring, summer, nor fall
In Fruits, in Flowers, Treasures could e're present
Such sweet and wealthy Joyes Harmoniall
From Countrey, or from Element:
As when our Gracious King and his bright Queen,
Did after Twelve months parted interveen.
