The Grecian Story | ||
Candora thus withdrawn spent serious hour,
Near gliding Brook repos'd, where nature's Bow'r
Large branched Palm; whilst gentle murmur made
Wind-tossed Leaves and Streams, to th' Ear convey'd;
Birds chanting round: sate musing there upon
Each Lordly Servant's weight, poiz'd (being gon)
In all Regards; lest should too late Repent
Unwiser Choice: so, back to th' Chamber went.
