Soft heath this elevated spot supplied,

And choice of moss-clad stones, whereon we couched

Or sate reclined; admiring quietly

The general aspect of the scene; but each

Not seldom over anxious to make known[876]

His own discoveries; or to favourite points

Directing notice, merely from a wish

To impart a joy, imperfect while unshared.

That rapturous moment never[877] shall I forget

When these particular interests were effaced
