Salve magna parens frugum Saturnia tellus,
Magna Virum! tibi res Antiqua laudis & Artis
Aggredior, fanttos aufus recludere fontes.
By Mr. JOSEPH ADDISON.
HILE you, my Lord, the rural Shades admire,
And from Britannia's publick Pofts
Nor longer, her ungrateful Sons to
For their Advantage facrifice your
Me into Foreign Realms my Fate conveys,
Through Nations fruitful of Immortal Lays,
Where the foft Seafon and inviting Clime
Confpire to trouble your Repose with Rhime.
For wherefoe'er I turn my ravish'd Eyes,
Gay gilded Scenes and fhining Profpects rife,
Poetick Fields encompass me around,
And still I seem to tread on Claffic Grounds
