    With reasons fleece, and hoises saile
    And humming flies in thankfull gaile”

    “The wanton snow flew to her breast,
    Like pretty birds into their nest,
    But, overcome with whiteness there,
    For grief it thaw’d into a tear:
    Thence falling on her garments’ hem,
    To deck her, froze into a gem.”
