Last Line: Take well in worth a simple toy.
Subject(s): May (month); Nature; Pleasure
THIS sweet and merry month of May,
While Nature wantons in her prime,
And birds do sing, and beasts do play.
For pleasure of the joyful time
I choose the first for holiday
And greet Eliza with the rhyme.
O beauteous Queen of second Troy,
Take well in worth a simple toy.
