A mole cinque-spotted, like the crimson drops<br />

I’ the bottom <strong>of</strong> a cowslip.<br />

‘Cymbeline’ (1609-10) act 2, sc. 2, l. 37<br />

Hark! hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings,<br />

And Phoebus ’gins arise,<br />

His steeds to water at those springs<br />

On chaliced flowers that lies;<br />

To ope their golden eyes:<br />

With everything that pretty is,<br />

My lady sweet, arise!<br />

As chaste as unsunned snow.<br />

When we are old as you? when we shall hear<br />

<strong>The</strong> rain and wind beat dark December, how,<br />

In this our pinching cave, shall we discourse<br />

<strong>The</strong> freezing hours away? We have seen nothing.<br />

‘Cymbeline’ (1609-10) act 3, sc. 3, l. 35<br />

Some jay <strong>of</strong> Italy,<br />
