[Hiperion now's remou'd vnto the Bull]
The 11. of Aprill he comes into Taurus, or the Signe of the Bull.
Taurus.
Hiperion
now's remou'd vnto the Bull,
And seemes all hid in Mists and watry bowres:
Till wollsacke seeming cloudes are bursting full,
And then he glides the Aire with golden showres.
He shines, he hides, he smiles, and then he lowres,
Now glorious glowing, and straight darkned dim:
He's now obscur'd, and now his beames out powres,
As skies are cleare, or thicke twixt vs and him.
Thus all the Aprill, at bo-peepe he plaies,
Incircling daily the Rotundious spheare.
And at the Bull he hides his glistring raies,
Till ayre is purgde of cloudes, and skies are cleare.
Then he the head-strong Taurus soone forsakes,
And to his Summer progresse haste he makes.
