               (OF THE FIRST BOOI(<OF


     R O M Scenes where nature fpreads her painted rein,
   SAnd gaudy plenty decks the fmiling eplain ;
 All hail! thou much-lov'd partner of my breaft,
 All hail ! whofe friendfhip cheers my rural reft;x.
   'Tstrue my ,___'s exalted foul enjoys
 The farce of LONDON, and its empty noife:
 'Tis true, that fluffi'd with grandeur's gaudy Rate,
 He glows triumphant 'midil the tow'ring great;
 Yet, this abates not friendfhip's vef lal flame,
 Diffirent our fancies, but our hearts the fame ;
 Self-center'd fouls w~hich difcords jars defy,
 -My friend the Gaflor and the Poliux I.
 Say is there ought my Caft~or's foul can love,
 Ought, which his Pollux knows to difapprove.
 Als f! I roam dejected and forlorn,
 {And my loft mate,--- bewailing tyrtle  mourn;
 11For me, the motfy bank, the balmy glade,
 For me, the fragrance of the genial fhade ;
 For me, the fount it's murrn'ring bofom fpreads,
 For me, with Nature's treafitres bloom the meads;
B-ut ali no more with focial transports bidif,
Nor moffy rock, nor groves can ooth my breafi.

"Then---loofe th' indignant venom, and o'erfpread
With uncheck'd fury my, devoted hea ;;
« 'Tis jufi? ---Ill cry, and own myfelf beide
Lofl to all freedom, when a flave to pride.
Curfl be, whofe eves with fervile thirfl behold,
The glowing tinfel of alluring gold ;
Curfi:, (in whofe cheft th' eniprifon'd mountains lay)
Who keep eternal vigils o'er the prey.                                    t
Shine, tempting charm---unmoor'd---thy blaze I fee,
My foul fhall never bend a flave to thee.

   Where ------.'s wall their mould'ring flruature rear,
Prefi with the load of many an hundred year;
While leifure gives retirement's peaceful joys,
For thee--the pen my ready hand employs;
Oh! hafle,---and give my longing foul to prove
The pure 11 tranfports of a focial love3-
That blefsful hour indulge, my rapt'rous breafi,
Loofe for that hour the reins-to Fortune give the refl.
