ODE the Tenth, To the Same.
In the Month from Julius nam'd,In the Grove for Music fam'd,
Where the Belles of Britain's Isle,
Where the Loves and Graces smile,
Where to many a manly Heart
Cupid throws th'unerring Dart,
While the sweet enliv'ning Sound
Fills with Harmony the Ground,
Damon thus in Rapture cry'd,
Celia sighing by his Side,
“How the Soul receives Surprise,
“At our Ears, and at our Eyes!
“Soon, too soon, a fatal Hour
“Strips the Grove of all its Pow'r;
114
“Here no longer then shall float:
“Nymphs, to charm by Nature made,
“Leave the unfrequented Shade.
“Haste, O! haste, great Eye of Day!
“Bring the sweet Return of May!
