Written at a Ferme Ornee near Birmingham; August 7th, 1749.
By the Same.
'Tis Nature here bids pleasing scenes arise,And wisely gives them Cynthio, to revise:
To veil each blemish; brighten every grace;
Yet still preserve the lovely Parent's face.
How well the bard obeys, each valley tells;
These lucid streams, gay meads, and lonely cells;
311
While Nature shines, so gracefully reveal'd,
That she triumphant claims the total plan;
And, with fresh pride, adopts the work of man.
