The (rant was spread, the sparkling bowl went round,
Sorrow was in the foaming goblet druvried,
And all was boisterous mirth, sod jovial glee-,
Cheering, and sung, and rustic revelry.
Those scenes no charm to gentle Love afford;
flintio'd by the thunder of the social board.
The wedded pair retired ; they stole unseen
Along the rocky margin of the green ;
For moo, a sates aid tender theme had they;
Life's misty prospect wide before them lay ;
Prophetic videos stresed the field with flowers
Or dash'd the golden cup of joy with showers.
iimark'd by time the blissful moments stole,
Lost in luxurious intercourse amid.

And the fair bride in bashful beauty glows
Like the sweet petals of the bleeding rope,

Gives pledge and promise of immortal joy.
To me those Idellf sod brilliant prospezts seem
The fleeting shades and phantoms of a dream;
I know them ;no bridal hand hos rest

rorlors in erowds, I seek the sounding wood.,
Hold converse with the rocks, the roaring floods;
A lonely guest at Nature's bailee. placed,
Spectator of the joys that others taste,

And dash the cup of bridal nectar down.
The youth, entranced, bid blooming partner led
Along, the dizzy brisk ; the main red

And flowery frog floated on the gale. .
