 | The Grecian Story |  |
That Evening past, the Prince to range dispos'd,
Small Mount did trace by his own bounds inclos'd
With Palms adorn'd, where Silver stream descended,
From verdant Bank, by th' Others shade befriended,
Soft, gentle Murmur caus'd; whilst wand'ring Wind
Toy'd with those Leaves, their Wisp'ring noise combin'd.
Place for Refreshment us'd, some Truce, cessation,
When overtir'd with Sorrow's Contemplation.
