INTRODUCTION. 



Beatus We quiprocul negotiis — 

 Libet jacere modo sub antiqua ilice, 



Modo in tenaci gr amine ,• 

 Labuntur altis interim rivis aquae ,• 



QCJEKUNTUR IN SILVIS AvES ; 



Fontesque lymphis obstreperunt mananlibus 

 Somnos quod invitet (eves. — Horat, 



Harmer's Cottage, Lady well ', 



LEWISIIAM. 



The Summer's fervid reign is past, 

 A'nd bland September come at last: 

 A grateful change — the most to me — 

 To all who can the city flee. 

 Light pleasure's sylphs, with tripping feet, 

 Your presence here will gladly greet : 

 Here Quiet — Contemplation dwell 

 Beside the fount of Lady well, 

 Which flows incessant through the year, 

 As virtue pure, as crystal clear.
