To a Friend in the Countrey.
HAppy, Happy is your Change,For the Town's Tumultuous Noise,In the Silent Woods to Range,Stor'd with Innocence and Joys.
Where the Gliding Silver Streams,Seem to Mock you as they Run,Hiding from the Scorching Beams,Of an Over-Thirsty Sun.
Whisp'ring thro' their Mossy Sluce,Philomel Sits on the Brink,Smooths her Plumes, and Dresses Spruce,Sings a Song to buy her Drink.
descriptionPage 29
Then Ascending on a Bough,There she sits and tells her Tale,To her Picture that's below,In her Looking-Glass and Ale.
Every thing Contributes there,To please the Taste, the Sight, the Ear,Pleasures do in a Ring appear,And with join'd Hands Dance round the Cir∣cling Year.
