Cunctas veris opes et picta rosaria gemmis 

 Laniger in calathis, aspice, Maius habet, 



Mensis Atlantigense dictus cognomine Maise, 

 Quern merito multum diligit Uranie. 



AUSONIUS. 



Again the merry month of May 



Has made our hills and valleys gay ; 



The birds rejoice in leafy bowers, 



The bees hum round the breathing flowers ; 



Blythe Morning lifts his rosy eye, 



And Evening's tears are tears of joy. 



BURNS.
