Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Samuel Rogers: With a Memoir of His Life

Lay with his circular and dotted line, Fishing in silence. When the heart is light With hope, all pleases, nothing comes amiss: And soon a passage-boat swept gaily by, Laden with peasant-girls and fruits and flowers, And many a chanticleer and partlet caged For Vevay's market-place - a motley group Seen through the silvery haze. But soon 't was gone The shifting sail flapp'd idly for an instant, Then bore them Off.
