 O! well-remember'd day, When on yon bank fhe lay, Meek in her pride, and in her rigour mild; The young and blooming flowers, Falling in fragrant fhowers, Shone on her heck, and on her bofom ftnil'd: Soine on he-r mantle hung, Some in her lopks were ftrung, Like orient gerns in rings of flaming gold; Some, in a Ipicy cloud Descending, call'd aloud, "Here Love and Youth the reins of empire hold."
