68. THE BAD SEASON MAKES THE POET SAD

Dull to myself, and almost dead to these,

My many fresh and fragrant mistresses;

Lost to all music now, since every thing

Puts on the semblance here of sorrowing.

Sick is the land to th' heart; and doth endure

More dangerous faintings by her desperate cure.

But if that golden age would come again,

And Charles here rule, as he before did reign;

If smooth and unperplex'd the seasons were,

As when the sweet Maria lived here;

I should delight to have my curls half drown'd

In Tyrian dews, and head with roses crown'd:

And once more yet, ere I am laid out dead,

Knock at a star with my exalted head.
