A. Thornthwaite inv t .
Isaac Taylor ſculp.
Where Severn, Trent, or Thames’s Ouzy side
Pours the smooth Current of their easy Tide,
Each will require a sameneſs to the Spot,
For this a Cell, a Cascade or a Grot;
The Moſs, or gliding Streams productive Store,
To grace the Building on the Verdant Shore,
There the rough Tuscan, or the Rustic fix,
Or Pebbles, Shells, or calcin’d Matter mix,
The frozen Isicles resembled form,
Or Sea-green Weed your Grotto must adorn.
