How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection! Shakespeare.Merchant of Venice, Act V. Scene 1. (Portia to Nerissa.)
Thus with the year Seasons return, but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom, or summers rose, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine. Milton.Paradise Lost, Book III. Line 40.
