THE GROVE. The sweet and fruitful dew fall on this ground, To force out all the flowers that might be found. So many lights and shadows, nor the rain Heaven-painted bow, when that the sun doth court her, I have not seen the place could more surprise, With honeysuckle, and both these entwine To cast a kind and odoriferous shade: The balmy West-wind blows, and every sense Is soothed and courted: trees have got their heads, And every flower doth laugh as Zephyr blows. Accord in tune, though vary in their tale. THE DYING STAG. The chirping swallow, call'd forth by the sun, The yellow bees the air with music fill, The finches carol, and the turtles bill. OW in a grassy dingle he was laid, head. |
