(6.) The Sallow is a Plant as delights on moift Banks: ’Tis 
increafed by Seed, Layers, or Cuttings. ‘Thereare three Kinds _ 
common ; of which the Round-leaf Sallow delights  beft 
in moift Banks, as aforefaid, and the others in wetter Lands, 
as Moors, c, | 
Alder, and Withy, chearful Streams frequent, 
And are the Rivers only Ornament. 
Lf antient Fables are to be belter’d, 
Thefe were Affociates heretofore, and liv’d 
On fifhy Rivers in a little Boat, 
And with their Nets their painful Living got. 
The Feflival approach’d; with one Confent, 
All on the Rites of Pales are Intent: 
While thefe unmindful of the Holy Day, 
Their Nets to dry upon the Shore difplay. 
But Vengeance foon th’ Offenders overtook ; 
Perfifiing ftill to labour in the Brook, 
The angry Goddefs fix’d them to the Shore, 
_ Mand for their Fault doom d them to work no more. 
Thus to Eternal Idlenefs condemmn d, 
They felt the Weight of Heaven, when contemn’d. 
The Moifture of tho fe Streams by which they ftand, 
Eindues them both with Power to sapene 
Their Leaves abroad; Leaves, which from guilt look pale, 
In which the never ceafing Frogs bewail.
