No. 186. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1751

Pone me, pigris ubi nulla campis

Arbor aestiva recreatur aura----

Dulce ridentem Lagagen amabo

Dulce loquentem. HOR. Lib. i. Ode xxii. 17.

Place me where never summer breeze

Unbinds the glebe, or warms the trees;

Where ever lowering clouds appear,

And angry Jove deforms th' inclement year:

Love and the nymph shall charm my toils,

The nymph, who sweetly speaks and sweetly smiles.
