And as I did awake off this Swowning,
The joyfull Minftralls mirryly did fing,
For Mirth of Phehus tendir Beims fchene;
Sweit wer the Vapouris, faft the Morrowing,
Hailfum the Vail, depaynt with Flowirs zing,
The Air atemperit, fobir and amenej
In quhyte and reid was all the Eard befene,
Throw Natures nobill frefch enamaling,
In mirthfull May, of every Moneth Quene.

The frefch enamallit Termes celeflriall 5
This Matter thou couth haif ilumint bricht 5
Was thou not of our IngUs all the Licht ?
Surmounting every Toung terreftriall,
As far as Mayis fair Morning dois Midnicht.
