Sleep, Sleep in Peace, ye Monsters of the Wood:

No more my early Horn shall wake———

So when bright Venus yielded up her Charms,

The blest Adonis languish’d in her Arms;

His idle Horn on flagrant Myrtle hung,

His Arrows scatter’d, and his Bow unstrung;

Obscure in Covert lay his dreaming Hounds,

And bay’d the fancy’d Boar with feeble Sounds:

For nobler Sports he quits the savage Fields,

And all the Hero to the Lover yields.
