[An Oriental Eclogue—By CtUins ]
S:f7ie}a Forrf— Time, Evening,
Georgia ? Ujid, where TcfllV towers are feen
ViC>v iiong the Itvtl ^reen ;
Ahiit evtping dews tmich the glitt’iiug glade,
And the tali fort (Is caft a longer lliadc ;
^ hat tune tie fwiet o'er fields of rice to flrav,
Or feent the breathing maize at fating day ;
A mid ft the maids of Z igrns peaceful grove,
Imyra fnug the pleating cares of love.
Oi Abra fir ft began the tender (train,
"ho ltd her y> uth with flocks upon the plain;
At morn the came thofe willing flocks to lead,
vV here lilies rear them in the wat’ry mead
Prom early dawn the Ip e-long hours llic told,
Td| laic at Gicnt eve flie peiin’d the lo‘d.
UtCp ip the grove, beneath the fecitt (hade,
A various wreath of cJoroui flowers Ike made.
Gay motley d p nks and lweet jonquils the rhole,*
I he violet blue that ou the mofs-bank grows ;
All lweet to ftoie, the flaunting rofc was there .*
1 he liniflrd chaplet well adorn'd her hair
Great Abbas chanc'd that fated morn to ftray,
By lore conducted from the chacc away :
Among iht vocal vales he heard her long,
Anil fought the vaies and echoing groves among.
At itngfh he found, and woo’d the i ural maid;
kiie knew the monarch and with fear obey’d
* Be ev xy youth like royal Abbas mov’d.
* And cv’ry Georgian maid like Abra lov’d !*
The royal lover bore her from the plain ;
Yet ftil! her crook and bleating flock remain
Cfi as flic went the backward turn’d her view,
And bade that croon anti bleating flock adieu.
Fair happy main ! to other leones remove ;
To richer lcenes of golden puw’r and lyvc !
Cc ?cavc the fanple pipe, and thepherd’s ftiain ;
YVith love del ght thee, and with Abbas reign.
* Be ev ry youth like royal Abbas mov'd,
‘ And cv’ry Georgian maid like Abra lov’d !’
Yer, midfl the blase of courts, flie fix’d her love
On the cool fountain, *>r the lliady grove ;
Still with the fhepherd’s innocence, he; mind
lo the lweet vale and flotv’ry mead inclin’d :
And oft a? Spring renew’d the plains with flow’rt,
Brcat‘ w‘ liis toft ga es, and led the fragrant hours ;
W ith iuie re’uru Ike fonj.h’. tlie fylvan frene,
~1 he breezy mountains, and the fortfts green.
tJcr maids ar und her mov’d, a duteous band !
Bach bere a crook alUrural in her hand :
?sonr.e fitwple lay of florks and herds they fung ;
"With joy the mountain and the foreft rung.
* Be cv’ry vou;h like royal Abbas mov’d,
* And ev ry Georgian maid like Abra lov’d
And oft the royal iover left the cue
And thorns of ftr.te, attendant on the fair ;
Qlt to the (hades and Jow-roof’d cots retir'd
Or fought the vale where lirft his heart wa9 fir’d,
A rulTct mantle, like a fwam, he wore ;
Aral thought of crowns and bufy cou ts no more.
‘ B- ev’ry youth like royal Abbas mov’d,
‘ And ev’ry Georgian maid like Abra lov’d !’
Blcft was the life that royal Abbas led :
Swrct wa^ his love ant1 innocent his bed.
What if in wca th the noble maid excel;
The fimplr fl.cpherd girl can ieve as well.
Bet thofe who iuie on Perfta’s jewcll’d throne
Be fam’d for love, and gentleft love alone ;
Or wreathe, Jtkc Abbas, full of fair retunvn,
1 he lover s myrtle with the warrior’s crown.
* O happy days !’ the maids around her lay ;
* Q halte, prefufe of blcflings, hafte away I
‘ Be ev ry youth like royal Abba* mov'd,
