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)
