For those who their mortality have felt,

And sought a refuge from their hopes decay'd

In the deep umbrage of a green hill's shade,

Which shows a distant prospect far away

Of busy cities, now in vain display'd,

For they can lure no further; and the ray

Of a bright sun can make sufficient holiday,

Developing the mountains, leaves, and flowers,

And shining in the brawling brook, where-by,

Clear as a current, glide the sauntering hours
