The wonted trust, and Winter ticks no more.

Thus Adam, exil’d from the beauteous scene

Of Eden griev’d, no more in fragrant bower

On fruits divine to feast, fresh shade and vale

No more to visit, or vine-mantled grot;

But, all forlorn, the dreary wilderness

And unrejoicing solitudes to trace;

Thus too the matchless bard, whose lay resounds

The Splendid Shilling’s praise in nightly gloom

Of lonesome garret, pin’d for cheerful ALE;
