'' Here, as I steal alony tlie sunny wall, 

 Where Autumn basks, with fruit empurpled deep. 

 My pleasing theme continual prompts my thought ; 

 Presents the down)- peach ; the shining plum ; 

 The ruddy, fragrant nectarine ; and dark, 

 Beneath his ample leaf, the luscious fig. 

 The vine, too, here her curling tendrils shoots, 

 Hangs out her clusters, glowing to the south. 

 And scarcely wishes for a warmer sky.'
