I	A
On yonder verdant hilloc laid	B
Where oaks and elms a friendly shade	B
O'erlook the falling stream	C
O master of the Latin lyre	D
Awhile with thee will i retire	D
From summer's noontide beam	C
	-
II	A
And lo within my lonely bower	E
The industrious bee from many a flower	E
Collects her balmy dews	F
For me she sings the gems are born	G
For me their silken robe adorn	G
Their fragrant breath diffuse	H
	-
III	A
Sweet murmurer may no rude storm	I
This hospitable scene deform	I
Nor check thy gladsome toils	J
Still may the buds unsullied spring	K
Still showers and sunshine court thy wing	K
To these ambrosial spoils	J
	-
IV	L
Nor shall my Muse hereafter fail	M
Her fellow labourer thee to hail	M
And lucky be the strains	N
For long ago did nature frame	O
Your seasons and your arts the same	O
Your pleasures and your pains	N
	-
V	L
Like thee in lowly sylvan scenes	P
On river banks and flowery greens	P
My Muse delighted plays	Q
Nor through the desart of the air	R
Though swans or eagles triumph there	R
With fond ambition strays	Q
	-
VI	L
Nor where the boding raven chaunts	Q
Nor near the owl's unhallow'd haunts	Q
Will she her cares imploy	M
But flies from ruins and from tombs	Q
From superstition's horrid glooms	Q
To day light and to joy	S
	-
VII	L
Nor will she tempt the barren waste	T
Nor deigns the lurking strength to taste	T
Of any noxious thing	K
But leaves with scorn to envy's use	Q
The insipid nightshade's baneful juice	Q
The nettle's sordid sting	K
	-
VIII	L
From all which nature fairest knows	Q
The vernal blooms the summer rose	Q
She draws her blameless wealth	U
And when the generous task is done	V
She consecrates a double boon	W
To pleasure and to health	U
