| Jan Frans van Bloemen Garden scene with statues and staircase ca. 1677-1740 etching British Museum |
The Muses' friend, gray-eyed Aurora, yet
Held all the meadows in a cooling sweat,
The milk-white gossamers not upwards snowed,
Nor was the sharp and useful steering goad
Laid on the strong-necked ox; no gentle bud
The sun had dried; the cattle chewed the cud
Low leveled on the grass; no fly's quick sting
Enforced the stonehorse in a furious ring
To tear the passive earth, nor lash his tail
About his buttocks broad; the slimy snail
Might on the wainscot (by his many mazes'
Winding meanders and self-knitting traces)
Be followed, where he stuck his glittering slime,
Not yet wiped off.
– from Morning by William Browne of Tavistock (ca. 1590-1645)
