Footnote Sickness may be often an incentive to poetical composition I found it so and I esteem the following lines only because they remind me of past feelings which I would not willingly forget	A
	-
	-
Health I seek thee dost thou love	B
The mountain top or quiet vale	C
Or deign o'er humbler hills to rove	D
On showery June's dark south west gale	C
If so I'll meet all blasts that blow	E
With silent step but not forlorn	F
Though goddess at thy shrine I bow	G
And woo thee each returning morn	F
	-
I seek thee where with all his might	H
The joyous bird his rapture tells	I
Amidst the half excluded light	H
That gilds the fox glove's pendant bells	I
Where cheerly up this bold hill's side	J
The deep'ning groves triumphant climb	K
In groves Delight and Peace abide	J
And Wisdom marks the lapse of time	K
	-
To hide me from the public eye	L
To keep the throne of Reason clear	M
Amidst fresh air to breathe or die	L
I took my staff and wander'd here	N
Suppressing every sigh that heaves	O
And coveting no wealth but thee	P
I nestle in the honied leaves	O
And hug my stolen liberty	P
	-
O'er eastward uplands gay or rude	Q
Along to Erith's ivied spire	R
I start with strength and hope renew'd	Q
And cherish life's rekindling fire	S
Now measure vales with straining eyes	T
Now trace the church yard's humble names	U
Or climb brown heaths abrupt that rise	T
And overlook the winding Thames	V
	-
I love to mark the flow'ret's eye	L
To rest where pebbles form my bed	W
Where shapes and colours scatter'd lie	L
In varying millions round my head	W
The soul rejoices when alone	X
And feels her glorious empire free	P
Sees GOD in every shining stone	X
And revels in variety	P
	-
Ah me perhaps within my sight	H
Deep in the smiling dales below	E
Gigantic talents Heav'n's pure light	H
And all the rays of genius glow	E
In some lone soul whom no one sees	Y
With power and will to say Arise	T
Or chase away the slow disease	Y
And Want's foul picture from his eyes	T
	-
A worthier man by far than I	L
With more of industry and fire	S
Shall see fair Virtue's meed pass by	L
Without one spark of fame expire	R
Bleed not my heart it will be so	E
The throb of care was thine full long	Z
Rise like the Psalmist from his woe	E
And pour abroad the joyful song	Z
	-
Sweet Health I seek thee hither bring	A2
Thy balm that softens human ills	B2
Come on the long drawn clouds that fling	A2
Their shadows o'er the Surry Hills	B2
Yon green topt hills and far away	C2
Where late as now I freedom stole	D2
And spent one dear delicious day	C2
On thy wild banks romantic Mole	D2
	-
	-
Aye there's the scene beyond the sweep	E2
Of London's congregated cloud	F2
The dark brow'd wood the headlong steep	E2
And valley paths without a crowd	F2
Here Thames I watch thy flowing tides	G2
Thy thousand sails am proud to see	P
But where the Mole all silent glides	G2
Dwells Peace and Peace is wealth to me	P
	-
Footnote Box Hill and the beautiful neighbourhood of Dorking in Surry	P
	-
Of Cambrian mountains still I dream	H2
And mouldering vestiges of war	I2
By time worn cliff or classic stream	H2
Would rove but prudence holds a bar	J2
Conic then O Health I'll strive to bound	K2
My wishes to this airy stand	L2
'Tis not for me to trace around	K2
The wonders of my native land	L2
	-
Yet the loud torrent's dark retreat	M2
Yet Grampian hills shall Fancy give	N2
And towering in her giddy scat	O2
Amidst her own creation live	P2
Live if thou'lt urge my climbing feet	M2
Give strength of nerve and vigorous breath	Q2
If not with dauntless soul I meet	M2
The deep solemnity of death	Q2
	-
This far seen monumental tower	S
Records th' achievements of the brave	R2
And Angria's subjugated power	S
Who plunder'd on the eastern wave	R2
I would not that such turrets rise	T
To point out where my bones arc laid	S2
Save that some wandering bard might prize	T
The comforts of its broad cool shade	S2
	-
O Vanity since thou'rt decreed	T2
Companion of our lives to be	P
I'll seek the moral songster's meed	T2
An earthly immortality	T2
Most vain O let me from the past	T2
Remembering what to man is given	U2
Lay Virtue's broad foundations fast	T2
Whose glorious turrets reach to Heav'n	U2
