==== Hymn III, To the Spring ====

== frå Hymns of Astraea, 1599 ==

> Earth now is greene, and heaven is blew,
> Lively Spring which makes all new,
> Iolly Spring, doth enter;
> Sweete yong sun-beames doe subdue
> Angry, agèd Winter.

> Blasts are milde, and seas are calme,
> Every meadow flowes with balme,
> The Earth weares all her riches;
> Harmonious birdes sing such a psalme,
> As eare and heart bewitches.

> Reserve (sweet Spring) this Nymph of ours,
> Eternall garlands of thy flowers,
> Greene garlands never wasting;
> In her shall last our State’s faire Spring,
> Now and for ever flourishing,
> As long as Heaven is lasting.
