Ever as more Flowers I pluck, Blossoms new gay Spring attire.

Excerpt

Ever shall I more desire Than Time's bounded Needs require. Ever as more Flowers I pluck, Blossoms new gay Spring attire. And when through the Heavens I sweep, Rolling Spheres will flash new Fire. Perfect Beauty only can True Eternal Love inspire.
