Explore their flight; me, near the cool cascade 370

Reclin’d, or sauntring in the lofty grove,

No needless slight occasion should engage

To pant and sweat beneath the fiery noon.

Invite. But, while the chilling dews descend,

May nothing tempt you to the cold embrace

Of humid skies: Tho’ ’tis no vulgar joy

To trace the horrors of the solemn wood,
