HYMN III To the Spring.
E L I S A B E T H A R E G I N A	ARTH now is greene, and heauen is blew, iuely Spring which makes all new, olly Spring, doth enter ; weete yong sun-beames doe subdue ngry, agèd Winter. lasts are milde, and seas are calme, uery meadow flowes with balme, he Earth weares all her riches ; armonious birdes sing such a psalme, s eare and heart bewitches. eserue (sweet Spring) this Nymph of ours, ternall garlands of thy flowers, reene garlands neuer wasting ; n her shall last our State's faire Spring, ow and for euer flourishing, s long as Heauen is lasting.
