Hung amiable, Hesperian fables true,

If true, here only, and of delicious taste.

Betwixt them lawns, or level downs and flocks

Grazing the tender herb, were interpos’d,

Or palmy hillock; or the flow’ry lap

Of some irriguous valley spread her store—

Flow’rs of all hue, and without thorn the rose.

Another side, umbrageous grots and caves

Of cool recess, o’er which the mantling vine

Lays forth her purple grape, and gently creeps
