TO LADY MOSTYN,
ON HER PROPOSED JOURNEY TO CLIFTON.
If aught which on Earth's surface grows,Or which in beauteous Water flows;
If Clifton's air, or Bristol's spring,
The wish'd-for Health to Mostyn bring,—
Each wholesome Breeze and salient Stream
(For, in her health, the Rich, the Poor,
The Young, the Aged, ye restore!)
Shall be the Muse's grateful Theme:
Oh! make her then your guardian Care,
Ye Gales, ye Springs,—and win my Prayer!
March 31, 1804.
