But, if you knew what dangers wait
On those inclin'd to rove,
Your native streams you would not quit,
Nor go so far—to love.
Newyork, June, 1790.
How can a shepherd's amourous theme
Thus tempt you to remove.
When gathering flowers along the Arcam,
You just begin to love!
'Tis true, her trees are always gay,
Each season has its flowers,
And cold December feeins like May,
So gentle are his showers ;
TO pltife a wandring wayward mind
she quits her native shore,
To woods and solitudes refign'd,
Ne'er to behold it more.
To him no joy sweet Jersey yields,
The fight is only pain!
With joy he quits these happier fields.
To seek Kentuckey's plain.'

Admires the savage foil,
Ah, bid him till those wastes alone.
