From an actual Perambulation.⠀⠀⠀

By DAVID HUGHSON, LL.D. prend.
of Edward.

VOL. VI.

Pugh.

O happy plains, remote from war's alarms,
And all the ravages of hostile arms!
And happy, shepherds, who, secure from fear,
On open downs preserve your fleecy care!

Whose spacious barns grown with increasing store,
And whirling flails disjoint the cracking floor!

Ye happy fields unknown to noise and strife,
The kind rewarders of industrious life;
Ye shady woods where once I us'd to rove,

Alike indulgent to the Muse and Love;

Ye murmuring streams that in meanders roll,

The sweet composures of the pensive soul;

Farewell! The City calls me from your bowers;

GAY.
