SONNET. 4.

AND graunt I may so viuely put in verse The Sommer, when I lyke theirof to treat: As when in writ I do theirof reherse, Let Readers think they fele the burning heat, And graithly see the earth, for lacke of weit, With withering drouth and Sunne so gaigged all, As for the grasse on feild, the dust in streit Doth ryse and flee aloft, long or it fall. Yea, let them think, they heare the song and call, Which Floras wingde musicians maks to sound. And that to taste, and smell, beleue they shall Delicious fruictis, whilks in that tyme abound. And shortly, all their senses so bereaued, As eyes and earis, and all may be deceaued.
