LAWRENCE of virtuous¹ father virtuous son

Now that the fields are dank and ways are mire²

Where shall we sometimes meet and by the fire

Help waste a sullen³ day what may be won

From the hard season gaining？ Time will run

On smoother till Favonius reinspire

The frozen earth and clothe in fresh attire⁴

The lily and rose that neither sow'd nor spun⁵.

What neat repast shall feast us light and choice

Of Attic⁶ taste with wine whence we may rise

To hear the lute⁷ well touch'd or artful voice

Warble immortal⁸ notes and Tuscan air？

He who of those delights can judge and spare

To interpose them oft is not unwise.
