Thy Fancy need but dart a beam

To gild thy theme,

50And make the rude mass beautiful and bright.

Thou vary'st oft thy strains, but still

Success attends each strain:

Thy verse is always lofty as the hill,

Or pleasant as the plain.

How well thy Muse the Pastoral Song improves!

Whose nymphs and swains are in their loves

As innocent, and yet as kind as doves.
