i. may be Master Fenton in The Merry Wives of Windsor
"he capers, he / dances, he has eyes of youth, he writes verses, he / speaks holiday, he smells April and May" (3.2.56-58) (sic, no "of")

She drove to the club in the late summer haze,
Into nine-o’clock Camberley, heavy with bells
And mushroomy, pine-woody, evergreen smells.
