September.
The time wherein just Libra weighs
••he hours and makes the nights equall with dayes,
When the year resigns.
••he glorious sun up to the watry signs,
Which through the clouds looks on the earth in scorn,
The little birds, yet to salute the morn,
••••on the naked branches set their foot,
The leaves now lying on the mossie root,
••••d there a seely chirping do they keep,
•••• though they fain would sing, yet fain would weep,
••raising fair summer that too soon is gone,
Or sad for winters too fast coming on.
