A poem beneath the picture reads as follows:

MAY.
Then came faire May, the fayrest mayd on ground,
    Dekt all with dainties of her seasons pryde,
And throwing flow’res out of her lap around:
    Upon two brethren’s shoulders she did ride,
    The twinnes of Leda; which on either side
Supported her, like to their soveraine Queene.
    Lord! how all creatures laught, when her they spide,
And leapt and daunc’t as they had ravisht beene!
    And Cupid selfe about her fluttred all in greene.   Spenser.
