put forth and abound, till 50 Proserpina's field, To the foison thy lap overflowing its laurel of Sicily yield.

"Earth's in | -crease, and | foison | plenty; Barns and | garners | never | empty; Vines with | clust'ring | bunches | growing; Plants with | goodly | burden | bowing; Spring come | to you, | at the | farthest, In the | very | end of | harvest!

Others are old words like thole and nesh and lew and mense and foison and fash and douce, which have never been accepted into the standard English, or have long since vanished from it, in spite of their excellence and ancient history, and in spite of the fact that they have long been in current use in various districts.
