Listen in the reader

Where no ripen'd summer glows, In the lap of northern snows; Desarts gloomy, cold, and drear, (Only let the nymph be there) Wreaths of budding sweets would wear.

MAY would every fragrance bring, All the vernal bloom of spring: Dryads, deck'd with myrtles green, Dancing, would attnd their queen: Every flower that nature spreads, Rising where the charmer treads!
