The herbs and fbw’rs that deck’d the field.
Are wither’d all, and loft ;
The It reams and Brooks re. ice congeal’d,
Are chain’d by Winter’* freft.
But nature’s changes all combine,
To prove their author’s hand airiM,
The herds and flocks attention claim,
To gu.td them fram the storm ;
This, intcrcft prompts the country dame,

The infeS race, which fwarm’d of late,
Now fhnek into a litelef* date.
All nature feels the mighty change ;
The wing’d inhabitants es air
No longer o'er the woodlands range,
But hover near the wily snare.
In fc«rcb of food they quit the spray,
And fail to treacherous man a prey.
