Skywards a thousand trees rise tall and straight, apple’d with od’orous fruitage passing rare:

Here th’ Orange painteth on her dainty freight the hues that burnt in Daphné’s burnisht hair:

Droops low crusht earthwards by her juicy weight, the Citron glowing with her saffron gear:

Lemons with scented spherelets deckt and drest mock budding honours of the maiden’s breast.
