"Oh yield, fair lids, the treasures of my heart, Release those beams, that make this mansion bright; From her sweet sense, Slumber! tho' sweet thou art, Begone, and give the air she breathes in light.

The last two days have been faultless in sun, breeze, temperature and everything; never two more perfect days, and I have enjoy'd them wonderfully.
