A SCENE, IN AN EVENING BAY.

The Zephyr sleeps
On the brine and crystal deeps;
The flagging sails make hardly way,
And the still boats gem the bay:
The fisher throws his shrimping net,
'Tis now near night; but not night yet;
Farewell, Apollo!
I walk upon the sands, and hear
The Sea-nymphs blow their musick clear,
And, hark! the Tritons hollow.
