To a Gentleman, Who Desired Proper Materials for a Monody

Flowrets—wreaths—thy banks along— Silent eve—th' accustom'd song— Silver slipper'd—whilom—lore— Druid—Paynim—mountain hoar— Dulcet—eremite—what time— ("Excuse me—here I want a rhime.") Black-brow'd night—Hark! scretch-owls sing! Ebon car—and raven wing— Charnel houses—lonely dells— Glimmering tapers—dismal cells— Hallow'd haunts—and horrid piles— Roseate hues—and ghastly smiles— Solemn fanes—and cypress bowers— Thunder-storms—and tumbling towers—

Let these be well together blended— Dodsley's your man—the poem's ended.
