Sonnet second.

About the time when dayes are longer made,
When nights are warmer, & the aire more cleare,
When verdant leaues and fragrant flowres appeare;
Whose beauty winter had constraind to fade.
About the time, when Gabriels words perswade
The blessed Virgin to incline her eare,
And to conceyue that Sonne, whom she shall beare;
Whose death and rising driue away the shade.
About this time, so oft, so highly blest
By precious gifts of Nature and of Grace,
First glorious Iames, the English Crowne possest:
Then gracious Charles succeeded in his place.
For him his subiects wish with hearty words,
Both what this world, and what the next affords.
