In some thick wood have wander'd heedless on,

Hid from the vulgar eye, and sat us down

Upon the sloping cowslip-cover'd bank,

Where the pure limpid stream has slid along

In grateful errors through the underwood,

Sweet murmuring; methought the shrill-tongu'd thrush

Mended his song of love, the sooty blackbird

Mellowed his pipe and soften'd every note,

The eglantine smell'd sweeter and the rose

Assum'd a dye more deep, whilst ev'ry flower
