When scatter’d glow-worms, but in twilight fine,

Shew trivial beauties watch their hour to shine;

Whilst Salisb’ry stands the test of every light,

In perfect charms and perfect virtue bright:

When odours, which declin’d repelling day,

Thro’ temperate air uninterrupted stray;

When darken’d groves their softest shadows wear

And falling waters we distinctly hear;

When thro’ the gloom more venerable shows

Some ancient fabrick, awful in repose,
