 | The Grecian Story |  |
From top o'th Mount did Gallant Prospect shew,
Prime Nature's Scene, view'd Verdant Plain below,
Joyn'd rising Banks, Grove wand'ring Christal Streams:
Two Miles from thence, Gilded by th' Sun's fair Beames,
MORBELE's lofty Tow'rs; on whose right side
(Good space reserv'd) that Merchant's Grange descry'd.
Thus down they walk'd to th' next adjoyning Plain,
Near skirts whereof large Fountain forth did strain
From hollow Rock, whose tumbling Stream i' th' fall
Deep Murmur made; Stone-Cistern there withall;
Whence danc'd away, to th' open Field resign'd:
Minerva's Fount, her name with that combi'd.
