Imitated

In the deep bosom of my grove A sweet recess survey! Where birds, with elegies of love, Make vocal every spray. A silvan spot, with woods—with waters crown'd,— With all the rural honours blooming round!

This little, but commodious seat, (Where nature weds with art) A'nt to the EYE superbly great, Its beauties charm the HEART. Here, may the happy founder and his race, Pass their full days in harmony and peace!
