TIXE EFFECTS OF SPIUNG.
REMOTE from noifc, in (Vies fcrene,
Old Taunton's dsui-capt fpircs afccnd,
The hills are cover'd o'er with green.
And blossoms make the forclls bend.
Tho' fools contest, and bigots rave,
Bright rcafon yet dirc£ts the foul,
While forae, just toti'ring o'er the grave,
Seem quite impatient of controui,
Let satyr keen, and w it rcfin'd,
Tianfmute enjoyment into pain,
Till ieafon ftimulatcs the romd
To court philosophy again.
Here heav'n-taught science rears her head,
And labor marks the road to wealth,
While foeial mirth, by fancy led,
EftablLfhes convenient health.
Here too, on plcafurc's airy tide,
We court the muses in the (hade,
Or on the ambient waters glide,
To fee the glimmering landscape fade.
Amufcment oft at evening hours,
Impels the rustic swain !o rove
In search of pinks and fweetell flowers,
To deck the bosom ct his love.
Enamour'd there he drops his head,
In vain he courts forbidden bliss;
And tho' he fails her charms to wed,
He now and then purloins a kiss.
Our cattle in the forcfts flray,
Our lambkins bound the meadows o'er,
Their gambols round their mothers play,
And vultures kindle fear no more.
Since herrings came our flreams to trace,
Health fpaikles on the damsel's cheeks,
She lures on (bore the finny race,
While rapturous joy her bosom fpcaks.
She takes the victim by the tail,
And bends her footfteps to her home ;
And as Hie winds along the vale,
She cries—" the herring tribe is come!"
Now pie a Cure darts in ev'ry eye,
Each bosom glows with fervent heat;
The fainting more than gain supply,
The v/rctchcd quit their dark retreat.
The limping fire his crutch forgoes,
His wither'd limbs revive in bloom ;
He throws aside his bag of woes,
Nor yet salutes the sullen tomb.
O Spr INC! Thou happicft scene of man,
Push on thy blcflings through the year ! —
O let it end—as it began,
Without a sigh—without a tear!
