Ah! blest be the days when with Mira I took
The learning of Love....
When we pluck'd the wild blossoms that blush'd in the grass,
And I taught my dear maid of their species and class;
For Conway, the friend of mankind, had decreed
That Hudson should show us the wealth of the mead.
YE GENTLE GALES.
Woodbridge, 1776.
Ye gentle Gales, that softly move,
Go whisper to the Fair I love;
