The Spring-time.
Behold those chrystall Founts
Which P[illeg.]l and wander o're the Plain;
How branching, plum'd those lofty Mounts,
Plush-Banks bedrest with Flow'rs again:
Th' whole World's reviv'd;
Earth deck'd in Masquing robes, bright Heav'ns surrond
Cleer-check'd, sweet'st-breathing Gales abound,
Whilst Mortalls grow new-liv'd.

Cleer-check'd, sweet'st-breathing Gales abound,

Chief Empress of the Spring,
Come forth with all thy Beamy pow'r,
Thine Hand mayd since does smiling bring,
Let not the lovely'st Mistress Low'r;
Least damping thence
Th' whole worlds fair Spring-tyde, with my faithful
Drooping thy Frown to both imparts,
Through strangest Influence.

Come Sweetest, let us trace
To yonder Bow'r, prospective Hill,
Where th' Springs Musitiaus, more to grace,
C[illeg.] Eares shall with their Carolls fill:
There's VENUS Fount,
Melting its streams forth from those Rocks above;
All, Lectures of Joy, Beauty, Love
shall now to thee Recount.
