‘Here ever-woody mounts arise,
There verdant lawns delight the eyes,
Where Thames wanders—in meanders—
Lofty domes approach the skies.
‘Here are grottos, purling streams,
Shades defying Titan’s beams;
Rosy bowers, fragrant flowers,
Lovers’ wishes, poets’ themes.
‘Of the crystal, bubbling well,
Life and strength the currents swell;
