From fragrant herbage deck’d with pearly dews,

And flowerets of a thousand different hues,

By wafting gales the mingling odours fly,

And round our heads in whispering breezes sigh-

Whole nature seems to heighten and improve

The holier hours of innocence and love.

“Nor close the blissful scene, exhausted muse,

The latest blissful scene that thou shalt choose;

Satiate with life, what joys for me remain,

Save one dear wish, to balance every pain,—
