To the Spring, Vpon the uncertainty of CASTARA'S abode.

FAire Mistresse of the earth, with garlands crown'd
Rise, by a lovers charme, from the p…rtcht ground,
And shew thy flowry wealth: that she. where ere
Her starres shall guide her, meete thy beauties there.
Should she to the cold Northerne climates goe,
Force thy aff…ighted Lillies there to grow,
Th… Roses in those gelid field… t'appeare,
She absent I have al… their Winter here.
Or if to th' …orrid Zone …er way she bend,
Her the coole breathing of Favonius lend,
Thither command the birds to bring their quires,
That Zone is temp'rate I have all his fires.
Attend her, courteous Spring, though we should here
Lose by it all the treasures of the yee…e.
