The Grecian Story | ||
Thus on they Walk'd, till near three Miles o'th' four,
Main Task dispatch'd; when chanc'd to traverse o're
Smooth Velvet Plain, with Flow'rs adorn'd to th' eye
Like Summer-Gems, large River gliding by,
Which through the midst in various Wanton Maze
Sported it self; whilst Trees their Plumed grace
Joyn'd from the Bank; Sun-fans or Screens (as 'twere)
To th' Pearl-cheek'd dancing Nymph resembling there.
