O thou by Nature taught	A
To breathe her genuine thought	A
In numbers warmly pure and sweetly strong	B
Who first on mountains wild	C
In Fancy loveliest child	C
Thy babe or Pleasure's nurs'd the pow'rs of song	B
	-
Thou who with hermit heart	D
Disdain'st the wealth of art	D
And gauds and pageant weeds and trailing pall	E
But com'st a decent maid	F
In Attic robe array'd	F
O chaste unboastful nymph to thee I call	G
	-
By all the honey'd store	H
On Hybla's thymy shore	H
By all her blooms and mingled murmurs dear	I
By her whose lovelorn woe	J
In ev'ning musings slow	J
Sooth'd sweetly sad Electra's poet's ear	K
	-
By old Cephisus deep	L
Who spread his wavy sweep	L
In warbled wand'rings round thy green retreat	M
On whose enamell'd side	N
When holy Freedom died	N
No equal haunt allur'd thy future feet	M
	-
O sister meek of Truth	O
To my admiring youth	O
Thy sober aid and native charms infuse	P
The flow'rs that sweetest breathe	Q
Tho' Beauty cull'd the wreath	R
Still ask thy hand to range their order'd hues	P
	-
While Rome could none esteem	S
But virtue's patriot theme	S
You lov'd her hills and led her laureate band	T
But stay'd to sing alone	U
To one distinguish'd throne	U
And turn'd thy face and fled her alter'd land	T
	-
No more in hall or bow'r	V
The passions own thy pow'r	V
Love only love her forceless numbers mean	W
For thou hast left her shrine	X
Nor olive more nor vine	X
Shall gain thy feet to bless the servile scene	W
	-
Tho' taste tho' genius bless	Y
To some divine excess	Y
Faints the cold work till thou inspire the whole	Z
What each what all supply	A2
May court may charm our eye	A2
Thou only thou canst raise the meeting soul	Z
	-
Of these let others ask	B2
To aid some mighty task	B2
I only seek to find thy temp'rate vale	C2
Where oft my reed might sound	D2
To maids and shepherds round	D2
And all thy sons O Nature learn my tale	C2
