Vales, spires, meandering streams, and Windsor’s towery pride.

Alexander Pope.


The Holidayer.

The sportive swain in Sunday clothes is dressed,

And struts he proudly, head high held in air;

His sweetheart, who’s with charms like his impressed,

Thinketh, perdie, ‘Are we not both all there’?

Nor lacketh she adornment’s artful aid,

But with enticements rare is she yclout;
