which our poet Shakefpeare prettily fuppofes to 

 be the gifts of the fairy-queens, and to be the 

 fource of their fweet odors. He thus introduces

To dew her orbs upon the green •

Jn thofe freckles live their favours : 



I mud go feek fome dew-drops here and there^ 



And hang a pearl in every cowflip's ear.
