THE SUCCESSION OF THE FOUR SWEET MONTHS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: First, april, she with mellow showers
Last Line: More wealth brings in, then all those three.
Variant Title(s): The Four Sweet Months
Subject(s): April; July; June; Spring; Summer


First, April, she with mellow showers
Opens the way for early flowers;
Then after her comes smiling May
In a more rich and sweet array:
Next enters June, and brings us more
Jems, then those two, that went before:
Then (lastly) July comes, and she
More wealth brings in, then all those three.
