What bright joy can this exceed, This of roving o'er the mead? Where the hand of Flora pours Such a store of sweetest flow'rs; Where the zephyr's balmy gale Wantons in the lovely vale. Oh! How pleasing to recline Underneath the spreading vine, In the close concealment laid With a love-inspiring maid, Fair and sweet, and young and gay, Sporting all the live-long day.
