SPRING:

And from the Borom of yon dropping

А
OME, gentle SPRING, Ætherial Mildness,

come,

Cloud,
While mufick wakes around, veil'd in a Shower
Of shading Roses, on our Plains descend.

Ρ Ο Ε Μ.

OH HERTFORD, fitted, or to shine in Courts
With unaffected Grace, or walk the Plain,
With Innocence, and Meditation join'd
In soft Assemblage, listen to my Song,
Which thy own Season paints, when Nature all
Is blooming, and benevolent like Thee.
