NOW, turning from the wintry signs, the fen
His course exalted through the Ram had run ;
And, whirling up the Ikies, his chariot drove
Through Taurus, and the lightfame realms of love ;
When Venus from her orb descends in fhow'rs
To glad the ground, and paint the field with ftow'rs:
When firft the tender blades of grass appear, 7
And buds that yet the blasts of Eurus fear,
Stand at the door of life, & doubtto cloath the year, j
The gentle heat and foft repeated rains
Make the green blood to dance within their veins.
Then at their call embolden'd out they come.
And swell the gems, and burst the narrow room:
Broader and broader yet their bloom display,
Salute the welcome fun, and entertain the day.
Then from their breathing fouls their sweets repair,
To scent the skies, and purge the unwholfome air.
Joy spreads the heart, and with a gen'ral song
Spring issues car, and leads the jolly months along.
