IVT^ Dearest, hts walk through the Meadows this weather,.xL And hear the Birds welcome in the Spring;Beneath a Bhade well sit down together, And hear the Nightingale sweetly , as we pass, the chirping Sparrow, Now from the blustring winter tree,Will strain his throat lor to hid us Good-Morrow, As we pass over the rlowry lea. The whistleing Blackbird will tune up his throat, too,To see us loveingly pass along ;The pretty Lark she will set up her note, too,And in the air sing us her tine BOUg. The Magpye in the hedge will chatter, And tell the Good-Wife of her guess, Seeming to tattle of many a matter : Thus all the Birds will their joys express. There we shall hear too the sweet-singing Thrashes Strain up their throats with the Jenny-Wren,Seated on twigs in the pleasant Green bushes, Singing as loud as their throats can strain, etc. — The Spring Birth Notts, to the Tune ofCharon make Haste, 1685.
