As snowy Haemus, or cold Rhodope.
As mountain ice, which the North-winds,
Congeal to purest Chrystall;
Cold as the frozen zone,
Whose hair with isickles are hung,
And chattering teeth confound the useless tongue,
Cold as the breath of winter; as Apennine
Where the hills active coldness doth go near
To freez the frosty sun within his spear,
Cold as the top of snowy Algidus;
Cold as the feet of rocks.
Cold as the Gote, or rough Sarmatian,
As Pindus frozen toppes,
Cold as the frozen Muscovite.
