Sweete Themmes runne softly, till I end my Song.
Prothalamion (1596)
Calm was the day, and through the trembling air
Sweet-breathing Zephyrus did softly play—
A gentle spirit, that lightly did delay
Hot Titan's beams, which then did glister fair.
Prothalamion (1596)
At length they all to mery London came,
To mery London, my most kindly Nurse,
That to me gave this lifes first native sourse.
Prothalamion (1596)
There, in a Meadow, by the Rivers side,
A flocke of Nymphes I chaunced to espy,
All lovely Daughters of the Flood thereby,
With goodly greenish locks all loose untyde,
As each had bene a Bryde.
Prothalamion (1596)
With that I saw two swans of goodly hue
Come softly swimming down along the Lee:
Two fairer birds I yet did never see;
The snow which doth the top of Pindus strow
Did never whiter show,
Nor Jove himself, when he a swan would be
For love of Leda, whiter did appear.
Prothalamion (1596)
