I think she means that under the presence of Adam all seasons please alike, i.e., their individual charms are equally distributed as less than those he affords by his presence and their conversation.

Sure there's this meaning, too. However, interpreting "please" as a noun here would work better with the overall parallel structure of the sentence:
