[In the non-age of a winters day]
In the non-age of a winters day,
Lavinia glorious as May,
to give the morn an easier birth,
pac'd a league of crusted earth,
where ev'ry place by which she came,
from her veins conceivd a Flame.
Lavinia glorious as May,

where ev'ry place by which she came,
from her veins conceivd a Flame.
Lavinia stood amaz'd to see
Things of yeerly constancy
Thus to rebell against their season,
And though a stranger to the reason,
Back returning quench'd the heat
And Winter kept its former seat.
