Nature

Spring All the Graces of the Age

by Ben Jonson 1572-1637

From Lyrics from the Dramatists of the Elizabethan Age, ed. A. H. Bullen (London: Nimmo, 1889)

Nature

Spring all the Graces of the age,
And all the Loves of time;
Bring all the pleasures of the stage,
And relishes of rhyme;
And all the softnesses of courts,
The looks, the laughters, and the sports:
And mingle all their sweets and salts
That none may say the Triumph halts.
