SONG.

Lead me, welcome Pleasure,
Queen and sister bright,
Where airy footsteps measure
Pied pastures of delight!
Our jolly pastime sharing
Brave Beauty beams unsparing.
Sit we now reposing
Down in the flowery glade,
White flocks about us dozing;
The shepherd in the shade.
Calm rest from toil inviteth:
The hour in peace delighteth.
