On the tired household of corporeal sense,

And Fancy, keeping unreluctant watch,

Was free her choicest favours to dispense;[131]

I saw, in wondrous pérspective displayed,

A landscape more august than happiest skill[132]

Of pencil ever clothed with light and shade;

An intermingled pomp of vale and hill,

City, and naval stream, suburban grove,[133]

And stately forest where the wild deer rove;

Nor wanted lurking hamlet, dusky towns,
