- Throw hither all your quaint enamell'd eyes
That on the green turf suck the honied showers,
And purple all the ground with vernal flowers.
Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale jessamine, The white pink, and the pansy freakt with jet, The glowing violet, The musk-rose, and the well-attir'd woodbine, With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head, And every flower that sad embroidery wears.... - Sydneian showers
Of sweet discourse, whose powers
Can crown old Winter's head with flowers.

Or like those maiden showers
Which, by the peep of day, do strew
A baptism o'er the flowers.
