II. 2.

Pursue thy pleasurable way,

Safe in the guidance of thy heavenly guard,

While melting airs are heard,

And soft-eyed cherub forms around thee play:

Simplicity, in careless flowers array'd,

Prattling amusive in his accent meek;

And Modesty, half turning as afraid,

The smile just dimpling on his glowing cheek;

Content and Leisure, hand in hand

With Innocence and Peace, advance, and sing;

And Mirth, in many a mazy ring,

Frisks o'er the flowery land.
