[45.] See the Spring her self discloses

I

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
Come's from's Winter Home aganie
See how Titan's Chearrful Raye
Chaseth the dark Clouds a way,

II

Now in their new robes of green
Are the Plough-mens 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.
