Prevail, till Phœbus sheds Titanian Rays,

And paints their Fleecy Skirts with shining Gold,

Unable to resist the Foggy Damps

That veild the Surface of the verdant Fields,

At the God’s penetrating Beams disperse:

The Earth again in former Beauty smiles,

In gaudiest Livery drest, all Gay and Clear.

When disappointed Strephon meets Repulse,

Scoff’d at, despised, in melancholick mood

Joyless he wasts in sighs the lazy Hours,
