[To meet the Breeze that fand the trees her snowy breast was bear]

To meet the Breeze that fand the trees her snowy breast was bear
Sheethd on the Green he[r] Beauty seen to all advantage there
She meets his view sweet peace adieu & pleasures known before
He sighs—approves admires—& love[s] his hearts his own no more.
