English text

Like as from heaven the dew full softly showering doth fall
And so refresh both fields and closes,
Filling the parched flowers with sap and savor,
So while she bathed the violets and the roses
Upon her lovely cheeks so freshly flowering,
The Spring renewed his force with her sweet favor.
