A wretch in smoaky Dublin pentA
Who rarely sees the FirmamentA
You graciously invite to viewB
The Sun's enliv'ning Rays with youB
To change the Town for flow'ry MeadsC
And sing beneath the sylvan ShadesD
-
You're kind in vain It will not beE
Retirement was deny'd to meE
Doom'd by inexorable FateA
To pass thro' crouded Scenes I hateA
O with what Joy could I surveyF
The rising glorious Source of DayF
-
Attend the Shepherd's fleecy CareG
Transported with the vernal AirG
Behold the Meadow's painted PrideA
Or see the limpid Waters glideA
Survey the distant shaded HillsH
And pensive hear the murm'ring RillsH
-
Thro' your Versailles with Pleasure roveI
Admire the Gardens and the GroveI
See Nature's bounteous Hand adornJ
The blushing Peach and blooming ThornJ
Beheld the Birds distend their ThroatsH
And hear their wild melodious NotesH
-
Delighted thro' your Pastures roamK
Or see the Kine come lowing homeK
Whose od'rous Breaths a Joy impartA
That sooths the Sense and glads the HeartA
With Pleasure view the frothing PailsH
And silent hear the creaking RailsH
See whistling Hinds attend their PloughsH
Who never hear of broken VowsH
Where no Ambition to be greatA
E'er taught the Nymph or Swain DeccitA
-
Thus thro' the Day delighted runL
Then raptur'd view the setting SunL
The rich diffufive God beholdA
On distant Mountains pouring GoldA
Gilding the beauteous rising SpireM
While Crystal Windows glow with FireN
Gaze till he quit the Western SkiesH
And long to see his Sister riseH
Prefer the silent Silver MoonO
To the too radiant noisy NoonO
-
Or Northward turn with new DelightA
To mark what Triumphs wait the NightA
When Shepherds think the Heav'ns foreshowP
Some dire Commotions here belowQ
When Light the human Form assumesH
And Champions meet with nodding PlumesH
With Silver Streamers wide unfurl'dA
And gleaming Spears amaze the WorldA
-
Thence to the higher Heav'ns I soarR
And the great Architect adoreR
Behold what Worlds are hung in AirG
And view ten thousand Empires thereG
Then prostrate to Jehovah fallS
Who into Being spake them allS
