[Who best can paint th' enamell'd robe of Spring]
Who best can paint th' enamell'd robe of Spring,With flow'rets, and fair blossoms well bedight,
Who best can her melodious accents sing,
With which she greets the soft return of light,
Who best can bid the quaking tempest rage,
And make th' imperial arch of Heav'n to groan,
Breed warfare with the winds, and finely wage
Great strife with Neptune on his rocky throne,
Or lose us in those sad, and mournful days,
With which pale Autumn crowns the misty year,
Shall bear the prize, and in his true essays
A Poet in our awful eyes appear;
For whom let wine his mortal woes beguile,
Gold, praise, and Woman's thrice-endearing smile.
