An ADDRESS to HEALTH.
OH Health ! jupremeH bliss below,
All plea fares from thy bounty flow ;
Without thee wealth's a cumb'rous load.
And title's foot h the mind in vain ;
Neither can chear the fad abode,
Where sickness holds her baleful reign;
In vain the jocund rofe-crown'd firing.
Brings pleasure on her florid wing,
To those who mown thy absent smiles ;
With sighs they view the blooming mead,
Nor can the lark thy cares beguile,
Nor zephyr smooth their woeful bed.
Thy dwelling, nymph, where haft thou made ;
In the gilt dome, or rural (hade <
Say, dost thou at the morning's dawn
Tread the sleep summit of yon hill ?
Or brufo with hafiy flops the dewy lawn.
And all the morning's sweets inhale ?
Dod thou, tofoun the ful'try heat
Of Phoebus beams, to foades retreat ?
There Ufllefs, near feme murm'ring flream,
On mossy bank reclin'd along,
Wrap'd in feme gay poetic dream,
Doji thou indulge the chearfalfang ?
Iffo, ah ! deign a lift here,
Thefolitary hours to chear ;
The tedious time drags slowly on,
When pain usurps thy vacant feat
Then come !—pale sickness, overthrown,
At thy approach feallfaft retreat.
Come, thou fwect nymph, divinely fair,
Give me to breathe the balmy air,

jaid Diwifon as are not bounded. § To fee if the
