      "Fled are the frosts, and now the fields appear",
      "Reclothed in fresh and verdant diaper;",
      "Thaw'd are the snows; and now the lusty Spring",
      "Gives to each mead a neat enamelling;",
      "The palms put forth their gems, and every tree",
      "Now swaggers in her leafy gallantry.",
      "The while the Daulian minstrel sweetly sings",
      "With warbling notes her Terean sufferings.",
      "--What gentle winds perspire! as if here",
      "Never had been the northern plunderer",
      "To strip the trees and fields, to their distress,",
      "Leaving them to a pitied nakedness.",
      "And look how when a frantic storm doth tear",
      "A stubborn oak or holm, long growing there,--",
      "But lull'd to calmness, then succeeds a breeze",
      "That scarcely stirs the nodding leaves of trees;",
      "So when this war, which tempest-like doth spoil",
      "Our salt, our corn, our honey, wine, and oil,",
      "Falls to a temper, and doth mildly cast",
      "His inconsiderate frenzy off, at last,",
      "The gentle dove may, when these turmoils cease,",
      "Bring in her bill, once more, the branch of Peace."
