This Storm orepast, those Banks they travers'd so
Under green Arched Bow'r (Trees order'd Row
By th' wand'ring Stream) with more delight, contented;
Birds from each Branch their Songs to May presented.
Next, cross'd the Plain, where blazing Sun forth shin'd;
Too Hot Fernanthe thought, no gentler Wind:
Large Wood did stand close-rang'd o'th' other side,
By which their way, whence marching out descry'd
A Man and Horse; small Paniers bare the same,
As tho not far from private Lodg they came.
