Answer 1

Passage:
The Argument Of His Book

I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers,
Of April, May, of June, and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts,* wassails,** wakes, *harvest-carrying carts **toasts
(Line) Of bride-grooms, brides, and of their bridal-cakes.
5 I write of Youth, of Love;--and have access
By these, to sing of cleanly wantonness;
I sing of dews, of rains, and, piece by piece,
Of balm, of oil, of spice, and ambergris.* *whale-product used to make perfumes;
I sing of times trans-shifting; and I write a rarity
10 How roses first came red, and lilies white.
I write of groves, of twilights, and I sing
The court of Mab,* and of the Fairy King. *queen of the fairies
I write of Hell; I sing, and ever shall
Of Heaven,--and hope to have it after all.
