The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Succession of the Four Sweet Months
70. THE SUCCESSION OF THE FOUR SWEET MONTHS.
First, April, she with mellow showers
Opens the way for early flowers;
Then after her comes smiling May,
In a more rich and sweet array;
Next enters June, and brings us more
Gems than those two that went before:
Then (lastly) July comes, and she
More wealth brings in than all those three.
