Embattl’d in her field; and th’ humble shrub,

And bush with frizzled hair implicit: last

Rose, as in dance, the stately trees, and spread

Their branches hung with copious fruit, or gemm’d

Their blossoms: with high wood the hills were crown’d;

With tufts the valleys and each fountain side,

With borders 'long the rivers: that earth now

Seem’d like to heav’n, a seat where Gods might dwell

Or wander with delight, and love to haunt

Her sacred shades. * * * *
