INSCRIBED ON THE BACK OF A LANDSCAPE,

DRAWN BY THE REV. WILLIAM BREE OF COLESHILL, IN WARWICKSHIRE.

Here, from the hand of Genius, meets your eye
The tangled foliage of a shadowy dell;
Meets it in Nature's truth;—and see, the brook
Thro' yon wild thicket work its way oblique,
Hurrying and dashing thro' the lonely wood!
