[It doth me good whē Zephrus rains]
It doth me good whē Zephrus rains, in Dians walke for to disport, wher dulcet ayres such ioy me gains, as spot of care doth not resort, the birdes with gladsom tunes remains, ech thing Apollo doth comfort, but I of all do most embrace: wherfore my song is and shall be, of ioyfulnes and of solace,
