The Spring.
XXXVII.
See the Spring her self discloses,And the Graces gather Roses:
See how the becalmed Seas
Now their swelling waves appease;
How the Duck swims, how the Crane
Comes from's Winter Home again;
See how Titans cheerful ray
Chaceth the dark Clouds away;
Now in their new robes of green
Are the Plowmans labours seen:
Now the lusty teeming Earth
Springs each hour with a new birth;
Now the Olive blooms: the Vine
Now doth with plump pendants shine;
And with leaves and blossoms now
Freshly bourgeons every Bough.
