VOL. VII.

"Now let us range both far, and wide,
"Thro' all the gardens boasted pride,
"Here Jasmines spread the silver flow'r,
"To deck the wall or weave the bow'r,
"The Woodbines mix in am'rous play,
"And breathe their fragrant lives away.
"There rising Myrtles form a shade:
"There Roses blush, and scent the glade;
"The Orange, with a vernal face,
"Wears ev'ry rich autumnal grace;
"While the young blossoms here unfold,
"Citrons their balmy sweets exhale,
"And triumph in the distant gale.
