SPRING.




The Spring—
When proud-pied April dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing.

Shakspeare.

Winter's wrath begins to quell,
And pleasaunt spring appeareth:
The grasse now ginnes to be refresht,
The swallowe peepes out of her nest,
And clowdie welkin cleareth.

Spenser.
