Now early Shepherds o'er the Meadow pass	A
And print long Foot steps in the glittering Grass	A
The Cows neglectful of their Pasture stand	B
By turns obsequious to the Milker's Hand	B
	-
When Damon softly trod the shaven Lawn	C
Damon a Youth from City Cares withdrawn	C
Long was the pleasing Walk he wander'd thro'	D
A cover'd Arbour clos'd the distant view	E
There rests the Youth and while the feather'd Throng	F
Raise their wild Musick thus contrives a Song	F
	-
Here wafted o'er by mild Etesian Air	D
Thou Country Goddess beauteous Health repair	D
Here let my Breast thro' quiv'ring Trees inhale	G
Thy rosy Blessings with the Morning Gale	G
What are the Fields or Flow'rs or all I see	H
Ah tastless all if not enjoy'd with thee	H
	-
Joy to my Soul I feel the Goddess nigh	I
The Face of Nature cheers as well as I	I
O'er the flat Green refreshing Breezes run	J
The smiling Dazies blow beneath the Sun	J
The Brooks run purling down with silver Waves	K
The planted Lanes rejoice with dancing Leaves	L
The chirping Birds from all the Compass rove	M
To tempt the tuneful Echoes of the Grove	M
High sunny Summits deeply shaded Dales	N
Thick Mossy Banks and flow'ry winding Vales	N
With various Prospect gratify the Sight	O
And scatter fix'd Attention in Delight	O
	-
Come Country Goddess come nor thou suffice	P
But bring thy Mountain Sister Exercise	Q
Call'd by thy lively Voice she turns her Pace	R
Her winding Horn proclaims the finish'd Chace	R
She mounts the Rocks she skims the level Plain	S
Dogs Hawks and Horses crowd her early Train	S
Her hardy Face repels the tanning Wind	T
And Lines and Meshes loosely float behind	T
All these as Means of Toil the Feeble see	H
But these are helps to Pleasure join'd with thee	H
	-
Let Sloth lye softning 'till high Noon in Down	U
Or lolling fan her in the sult'ry Town	U
Unnerv'd with Rest and turn her own Disease	V
Or foster others in luxurious Ease	V
I mount the Courser call the deep mouth'd Hounds	W
The Fox unkennell'd flies to covert Grounds	W
I lead where Stags thro' tangled Thickets tread	X
And shake the Saplings with their branching Head	X
I make the Faulcons wing their airy Way	Y
And soar to seize or stooping strike their Prey	Y
To snare the Fish I fix the luring Bait	Z
To wound the Fowl I load the Gun with Fate	Z
'Tis thus thro' change of Exercise I range	A2
And Strength and Pleasure rise from ev'ry Change	A2
Here beautious Health for all the Year remain	S
When the next comes I'll charm thee thus again	B2
	-
Oh come thou Goddess of my rural Song	F
And bring thy Daughter calm Content along	F
Dame of the ruddy Cheek and laughing Eye	I
From whose bright Presence Clouds of Sorrow fly	I
For her I mow my Walks I platt my Bow'rs	W
Clip my low Hedges and support my Flow'rs	W
To welcome her this Summer Seat I drest	Z
And here I court her when she comes to Rest	Z
When she from Exercise to learned Ease	W
Shall change again and teach the Change to please	W
	-
Now Friends conversing my soft Hours refine	C2
And Tully's Tusculum revives in mine	C2
Now to grave Books I bid the Mind retreat	Z
And such as make me rather Good than Great	Z
Or o'er the Works of easy Fancy rove	M
Where Flutes and Innocence amuse the Grove	M
The native Bard that on Sicilian Plains	W
First sung the lowly Manners of the Swains	W
Or Maro's Muse that in the fairest Light	Z
Paints rural Prospects and the Charms of Sight	Z
These soft Amusements bring Content along	F
And Fancy void of Sorrow turns to Song	F
Here beauteous Health for all the Year remain	S
When the next comes I'll charm thee thus again	B2
