from Upon two greene Apricockes sent to Cowley by Sir Crashaw.

Take these, times tardy truants, sent by me,

To be chastis'd (sweet friend) and chidd by thee.

Pale sons of our Pomona! whose wan cheekes

Have spent the patience of expecting weekes,

Yet are scarce ripe enough at best to show

The redd, but of the blush to thee they ow.

By thy comparrison they shall put on

More summer in their shames reflection

Than ere the fruitful Phœbus flaming kisses

Kindled on their cold lips. O had my wishes

And the deare merits of your Muse, their due,
The yeare had found some fruit early as you;

Ripe as those rich composures time computes

Blossoms, but our blest tast confesses fruits.

How does thy April-Autumne mocke these cold 

Progressions 'twixt whose termes poor time grows old? 

With thee alone he weares no beard, thy braine

Gives him the morning worlds fresh gold againe.

– Richard Crashaw, The Delights of the Muses (1648)
