Excerpt from The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 69: Containing Cunningham, and Matthew Green X. Fervid on the glitt'ring flood, N ow the noon-tide radiance glows Dropping O'er its infant bud, Not a dew - drop's left the tofe. XI. By the brook the fhepherd dines From the fierce meridian heat Shelterid, by the branching pines, Pendent o'er his grafi'y feat. XII. Now the flock forfakes the glade, Where, uncheck'd, the fun-beams fall; Sure to find a pleafing fhade By the iw'd abby wall. Jiiii. Echo in her airy round, O'er the river, rock and hill, Cannot catch a tingle found, Save the clack of yonder mill. XIV. Cattle court the zephyrs bland, Where the itreamlet wanders cool Or with languid filence fiand Midway in the marfhy pool. B A.
