"Came old January wrapped well
In many weeds to keep the cold away
Yet did he quake and quiver like to quell,
And blowe his nayles to warm them if he may ;
For they were numbed with holding all the day
An hatchet keene, with which he felled wood,
And from the trees did lop the needlesse spray ;
Upon an huge great Earth-pot Steane he stood,
From whose wide mouth there flowed forth the Romane flood."

From whose wide mouth there flowed forth the Romane flood."
