to few but hurt to many puls downe the Churches and builds the faire houses makes the Prodigall an Ape and the miser dogged makes Bridges ouer the Sea and fire in mens braines fetch●th the Beasts from the Wildernesse and the Birds from the Ayre it drawes fansies out of fine Wits and eloquence from learned mouths It makes friends foes and enemies friends It serues all professions all qualities and conditions from the King to the Begger In summe not to talke too much of it hauing so little of it I thus conclude my opinion of it I thinke it a necessary drosse and a dangerous mettall the reliefe of the honest and the ruine of the wicked Farewell The Spring IT is now Spring a Time blest of the Heauens for the comfort of the Earth now begins the Sunne to giue light vnto the Ayre and with the replexion of his beames to warme the cold earth the Beasts of the woods looke out into the plaines and the fishes out of the déepe run vp into the shallow waters the bréeding fowles fall to building of their nests and the senselesse creatures gather life into their bodies the Birds tune their throats to entertaine the Sunne rising and the little flies begin to flocke in the ayre now Cupid begins no nocke his Arrowes and sharpe their heads and Venus if she be will be knowne what she is Now Pallas and her Muses try the Poets in their Pamphlets and Diana if shee bee to bée séene is a grace to her fayrest Nymph Time is now gracious in Nature Nature in time the Ayre wholesome and the earth pleasant and the sea not vncomfortable the Aged féele a kind of youth Youth the Spirit ful of life it is the messenger of many pleasures the Courtiers progresse and the Farmers profit the Labourers Haruest and the Beggers Pilgrimage In summe there is much good to be spoken of this time but to auoyd tediousnes I will thus conclude of it I hold it in all that I can sée in it the Iewell of time and the Ioy of Nature Farewell Summer IT is now Summer Zephirus with his swéet breath cooles the parching beames of Titan the leaues of the trées are in whisper talkes of the blessings of the aire while the Nightingale is tuning her throat to refresh the weary spirit of the Trauayler Flora now brings out her Wardrop and richly embroydreth her gréene Apron the Nymphes of the Woodes in consort with the Muses sing an Aue to the Morning and a Vale to the Sunnes setting the Lambes and the Rabbettes run at base in the sandy Warrens and the Plow landes are couered with corne the stately Hart is at Layre in the high wood while the Hare in a surrow sits washing of her face The Bull makes his walke like a Master of the field and the broad-headed Oxe beares the Garland of the market the Angler with a sly takes his pleasure with the fish while the little Merline hath the Partridge in the foot the Hony-dewes perfume the Ayre and the Sunny-showers are the earths comfort the Greyhound on the plaine makes the faire course the wel-mouthed Hound makes the Musicke of the woods the Battaile of the field is now stoutly fought and the proud Rye must stoupe to the Sickle The Carters whistle chéeres his forehorse and drinke and sweat is the life of the Labourer Idle spirits are banished the limits of Honour while the studious braine brings forth his wonder the Azure Sky shewes the Heauen is gracious and the glorious Sunne glads the spirit of Nature The ripened fruits shew the beauty of the earth and the brightnesse of the aire the glory of the heauens In summe for the world of worth I find in it I thus conclude of it I hold it a most swéet season the variety of pleasures and the Paradise of loue Farewell Haruest IT is now Haruest and the Larke must lead her yong out of the nest for the Sithe and the Sickle wil down with the grasse and the corne Now are the hedges ful of Berries the highwayes full of Rogues and the lazy Limmes must ●●éepe out their dinner The Ant and the Bee worke for their winter prouision and after a frost the Grashopper is not séene Butter milke and cheese are the Labourers dyet and a pot of good Béere quickens his spirit If there be no plague the people are healthy for continuance of motion is a preseruation of nature The fresh of the morning and the coole of the Euening are the times of Court walkes but the poore traueller treads out the whole day Malt is now aboue wheat with a number of mad people and a fine shirt is better then a Frize Ierkin Peares and Plummes now ripen apace and being of a watry substance are cause of much sicknesse The pipe and the taber now follow the Fayres and they that haue any money make a gaine of their markets Bucks now are in season and Partridges are Rowen-taild a good Retriuer is a Spaniell worth the keeping In sum it is a time of much worth when if God bee well pleased the world will thriue the better And to conclude this is all that I will say of it I hold it the Heauens Bounty the Earths Beauty and the Worlds Benefit Farewell VVinter IT is now Winter and Boreas beginnes to fill his chéekes with breath shaketh the tops of the high Cedars and hoyseth the waues of the Sea to the danger of the Saylers comfort Now is the Earth nipt at the heart with a cold and her Trées are disrobed of their rich apparell there is a glasse set vpon the face of the Waters and the Fishes are driuen to the bottomes of the déepe The Usurer now sits lapt in his furres and the poore makes his breath a fire to his fingers ends Beautie is maskt for feare of the ayre and youth runnes to Physicke for Restoratiues of Nature The Stagge roares for losse of his strength and the Flea makes his Castle in the wooll of a blanket Cards and Dice now begin their haruest and good Ale and Sack are the cause of ciuill warres Machiauil and the Deuill are in counsell vpon destruction and the wicked of the world make hast to hell Money is such a Monopoly that hee is not to be spoken of and the delay of suits is the death of hope In it selfe it is a wofull Season the punishment of Natures pride and the play of misery Farewell Ianuary IT is now Ianuary and Time beginnes to turne the whéele of his Reuolution the Woods begin to lose the beauty of their spreading boughes and the proud Oke must stoop to the Axe the Squirrell now surueyeth the Nut and the Maple and the Hedgehogge rowles vp himselfe like a football an Apple and a Nutmeg make a Gossips cup and the Ale and the Fagot are the Uictuallers merchandise the Northerne black Dust is the during Fuell and the fruit of the Grape heats the stomake of the Aged Downe beds
