- A poem about the winter season (one of four) done in an undulating cartouche.
- Inscription
- Winter / See Winter comes, to rule the varied year, / With all his rising train of clouds, & storms, / Yet little think the gay licentious proud, / How many pine in want and dungeon glooms, / Or feel the sad variety of pains / Ye good distrust suport lifes pressure still, / The storms of Wintry Time will quickly pass / And one unbounded spring encircle all. // (one of four)
