And the rich summer dinner-tables laid.

Dear lovely bowers of indolence and ease,

Seats of my youth when every card could please,

How often have I done thy park so green

Where humble iron chairs endeared the scene;

How often have I paused the throng to tell,

Th’ unnoticed clerk, the cultivated swell,

The never-failing talk, the riders’ skill,

The indecent duke that topt the neighbouring hill,

The moving row with spots beneath the shade
