 | The Grecian Story |  |
These being return'd, the Scene was changed strait;
View'd Garden's form, most dainty, delicate;
Prime flow'ry Dress, choice Walks, with Tarras-Mounts,
Carv'd Statues rare, with artificial Founts;
Fine Arbours, some o'th' longer sort descry'd,
Like branched Arch, seen planted Fruits beside.
Clear lovely Sky, bright scatter'd Clouds how-e're,
Small airy Spirits perch'd discerned there.
