"Terakhir datang, Winter berselimut kusut, mengoceh giginya dingin yang membuatnya dingin; Sementara di janggutnya serak, nafasnya mereda, Dan tumpul itu menipis, bahwa dari tagihannya yang berwarna abu-abu. Dari selembar limebeck, ada suling: di tangan kanannya ada tongkat berujung yang dia pegang, Dengan langkah lemah dia tetap diam; Karena dia pingsan karena kedinginan, dan lemah dengan medan; Kelangkaan anggota badannya yang hilang yang harus dia las adalah untuk dilas."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Lastly came Winter cloathed all in frize, Chattering his teeth for cold that did him chill; Whilst on his hoary beard his breath did freese, And the dull drops, that from his purpled bill As from a limebeck did adown distill: In his right hand a tipped staffe he held, With which his feeble steps he stayed still; For he was faint with cold, and weak with eld; That scarce his loosed limbes he hable was to weld.
