Tixall Poetry/A Song ("Now that the spring…")

XIX.

A Song.


Now that the spring hath fild our vainesWith kind and active fire,And made greene liveries for the plaines,And every grove a quire;Sing we this song with mirth, and merry glee,And Bacchus shall crowne the boule;Heres to thee, and thee to me,And to every thirsty soule.
