& THE ENGLISH GARDEN.* 



Patient and placable, receives well pleas'd 



Their tributary treafures, nor difdains 



To blend them with his own internal flore. 125 



Stands he in blank and defolated flate, 

 Where yawning crags disjointed, fharp, uncouth, 

 Involve him with pale horror ? in the clefts 

 Thy welcome fpade mall heap that foft'ring mould 

 Whence fapling Oaks may Tpring ; whence clurVring crouds 

 Of early underwood mail veil their fides, 131 



And teach their rugged heads above the made 

 To tow'r in fhapes romantic : Nor, around 

 Their flinty roots, mall ivy fpare to hang 

 Its gadding tendrils, nor the mofs-grown turf, 135 



With wild thyme fprinkled, there refufe to fpread 

 Its verdure. Awful frill, yet not auflere, 

 The Genius flands ; bold is his port, and wild, 

 But not forlorn, nor favage. On fome plain 

 Of tedious length, fay, are his flat limbs laid? 140 



Thy hand mail lift him from the dreary couch, 



Pillowing
