To the Ocean now I fly,
And thoee happy climes tb~t lie
Where day never abuts bia eye,
Up in the broad fields of the aky:
There I mck the liquid air
All amidst the gardena fair
Of Heaperna, and hia daughters three,
That sing about the golden tl'ee :
Along the crisp6d shades &nd bowen
Revels the spruce and jocund Spring ;
The Graeea, and the roay·boeom'd Houra,
Thither all tbeu· bounties bring ;
There eterniU enmmer dwella 1
And west-winds, with musky wing,
About the cedarn alleys fling
Nard and Ouaia's bt1lmy smelJL

Watera the oclorous baob, that blow
Flowera of more mingled hue
Than her purfled ecarf can a hew,
And drenChes with Elysian dew
(Liat, mortals, if your eara be true),
Beds of hyacinth and roeea,
Where young Adonia oft repoaea,
W &Xing well of his deep wound
In slumber soft, and on the gronnd

Celestial Cupid, her famed eon, advanced,
Holda hia dear Psyche eweet entranced.
