“As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made”

Richard Barnfield (1574–1627) English poet

Ode http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/128.html, l. 1. Alternately, Address to the Nightingale; historically misattributed to William Shakespeare.
Poems: In Divers Humours (1598)
Context: As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring;
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the nightingale alone.

And all along the pleasant way,
The morning birds were mad with glee,
And all the flowers sprang up to see,
As I went on to Arcady.”
