Smooth-gloss’d and soften’d in the mirror’s breast.

So by her glass the wishful virgin strays,

And oft retiring steals the lingering gaze.

Wild forest-trees the mountain sides array’d:

With curling foliage and romantic shade;

Here spreads the poplar, to Alcides dear;

And dear to Phœbus, ever verdant here,

The laurel joins the bowers for ever green,

The myrtle bowers belov’d of beauty’s queen.
