How like a Winter hath my absence beene
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting yeare? What freezings haue I felt, what darke daies seene? What old Decembers barenesse euery where? And yet this time remou'd was sommers time, The teeming Autumne big with ritch increase, Bearing the wanton burthen of the prime, Like widdowed wombes after their Lords decease: Yet this aboundant issue seem'd to me, But hope of Orphans, and vn-fathered fruite, For Sommer and his pleasures waite on thee, And thou away, the very birds are mute. Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere, That leaues looke pale, dreading the Winters neere.
