  • What is all this juice and all this joy?
    A strain of the earth's sweet being in the beginning
    In Eden garden.-Have, get, before it cloy,
    Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
    Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
    Most, O maid's child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
