Amongst its shady walks and fragrant bow’rs.

Of poetry and poets talk by turns,

And pleas’d make comments on the far-fam’d Burns.

EPISTLE TO NELL.

WHILE Phœbus did our summer arbours cheer,

And joys Autumnal crown’d our circling year;

Even then my thoughts to you excursions made,

And ardently the bypast scenes survey’d;

Where oft we met in Eccles’ peaceful bow’rs,
