A happy rural seat of various view,
Groves whose rich trees wept od'rous gums and balm.--
----Betwixt them lawns, or level downs and flocks
Grazing the tender herb, were interspersed;
Or palmy hillock, or the flow'ry lap,
Of some irriguous valley spread her store,
Flow'rs of all hue.----

Down the slope hills, dispersed; or in a lake
----Unite their streams--
The birds their choirs apply, airs, vernal airs,
Breathing the smell of field and grove attune,
The trembling leaves----
