1767. 



The sylvan powers 

 Obey our summons ; from their deepest dells 

 The Dryads come, and throw their garlands wild 

 And odorous branches at our feet; the Nymphs 

 That press with nimble step the mountain-thyme 

 And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, 

 But scatter round ten thousand forms minute 

 Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock 

 Or rifted oak or cavern deep : the Naiads too 

 Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face 

 They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush 

 That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles, 

 Where peril waits the bold adventurer's tread, 

 The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, 

 All, all to us unlock their secret stores 

 And pay their cheerful tribute. 



J. Taylor, Norwich, lolo.
