    “Far from the sun and summer-gale
    In thy green lap was Nature’s Darling laid,

    To him the mighty mother did unveil
    Her awful face:”

    Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
    And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
    An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
    Is, as in mockery, set.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And lick the Valleys up—”
