Those glowing transports, and those soft desires,
That warm the soul; and, every sense refin’d,
That humanize the fierce, obdurate mind?
From Nature all—from Nature’s God they flow,
Who bade the breast with pure emotions glow:
When heaven-born Virtue binds with sacred ties,
And smiling beauty fascinates the eyes,
He, source of all, adorns the laughing day,
And bids the flowers their gaudy tints display;
With vernal gales dispenses life around,
