<l>Now is the Winter of our Discontent,
</l><l>Made glorious Summer by this Son of Yorke:
</l><l>And all the clouds that lowr'd vpon our house
</l><l>In the deepe bosome of the Ocean buried.
</l><l>Now are our browes bound with Victorious Wreathes,
</l><l>Our bruised armes hung vp for Monuments;
</l><l>Our sterne Alarums chang'd to merry Meetings;
</l><l>Our dreadfull Marches, to delightfull Measures.
</l><l>Grim-visa . . .
