Zephyr

Zephyr (Zeph´yr) or Zephyrus (Zeph´yrus). The west wind and god of flowers, a son of Astraeus and Aurora (Eos). See Favonius.

“Wanton Zephyr, come away.
. . . . .
The sun, and Mira’s charming eyes,
At thy return more charming grow.
With double glory they appear,
To warm and grace the infant year.”

John Hughes, 1700
