A

POEM.

OME, gentle SPRING, Etherial Mildness,

come,

And from the Bofom of yon dropping

Cloud,

While mufick wakes around, veil'd in a Shower
Of fhading Rofes, on our Plains defcend.

OH HERTFORD, fitted, or to fhine in Courts
With unaffected Grace, or walk the Plain,
With Innocence, and Meditation join'd

In foft Affemblage, liften to my Song,
Which thy own Seafon paints, when Nature all
Is blooming, and benevolent like Thee.
