Compare Thomson’s description of the “pleasing land of drowsy-head,” in the Castle of Indolence :⁠—

“And there a season atween June and May,

Half prankt with spring, with summer half imbrowned,

A listless climate made, where, sooth to say,

No living wight could work, ne cared even for play.”

“And there a season atween June and May, Half prankt with spring, with summer half imbrowned, A listless climate made, where, sooth to say, No living wight could work, ne cared even for play.”
