Playing in the wanton air”

“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.
