RECITATIVO.
Thus while the Shepherd sung, the feather'd ThrongCatch the soft Sounds, and imitate his Song;
Fir'd by the Theme, on trembling Wings they rise,
And pour a Flood of Music through the Skies;
All Nature smiles; sweet Echo swells the Voice;
The Hills, the Fountains, and the Groves rejoice:
When thus the Youth his Song begins again;
And pleas'd Attention waits upon the Strain.
