Morning

William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

THIS castle hath a pleasant seat; the air

Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself

Unto our gentle senses.
This guest of summer,

The temple-haunting martlet, does approve,

By his lov’d mansionry, that the heaven’s breath

Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze, buttress,

Nor coigne of vantage, but this bird hath made

His pendent bed, and procreant cradle: Where they

Most breed and haunt, I have observ’d the air

Is delicate.
