And I so ravish’d with her heavenly note,

I stood entranc’d, and had no room for thought;

But all o’erpower’d with ecstasy of bliss,

Was in a pleasing dream of paradise:

At length I wak’d; and looking round the bower,

Search’d every tree, and pry’d on every flower,

If any where by chance I might espy

The rural poet of the melody:

For still methought she sung not far away;

At last I found her on a laurel spray.
