When orient dews impearl th’ enamelled lawn;

Than from his sides in bright suffusion flow,

That now with gold empyreal seem to glow;

Now in pellucid sapphires meet the view,

And emulate the soft celestial hue;

Now beam a flaming crimson on the eye,

And now assume the purple’s deeper dye:

But here description clouds each shining ray;

What terms of art can Nature’s powers display!

The lighter sails, for summer winds and seas,
