5 I'll build a Pleasure-house upon this spot,

And a small Arbour, made for rural joy;

'Twill be the traveller's shed, the pilgrim's cot,

A place of love for damsels that are coy.

A cunning Artist will I have to frame

A bason for that fountain in the dell;

And they, who do make mention of the same,

From this day forth, shall call it Hart-leap Well.

And, gallant brute! to make thy praises known,

Another monument shall here be rais'd;

Three several pillars, each a rough hewn stone,

And planted where thy hoofs the turf have graz'd.

And in the summer-time when days are long,

I will come hither with my paramour,

And with the dancers, and the minstrel's song,

We will make merry in that pleasant bower.
