And ahelter from the blast-in Vl\in we hope
The tender plant should rear ita blooming head,
Or yield the barveat promised in ita spring.
Nor yet will every soil with eqn:~l stores
Repay the tiller's labour; or attend
His will, obseqnioua, whether to prodnoe
The olive or the laurel. Difrerent minds
Incline to difrerent objects: one purauea
The va&t alone, the wonderful, the wild;
Another sighs for harmony, and grace,
ADd gentlest beauty. Hence when lightning fires
The arch of heaven, and thunders rook the ground ;
When farioua whirlwinds rend the howling air,
ADd ocean, groaning from his lowest berl,
He& Yea his tempestuoue billows to the aky
Amid the mighty uproar, while below
The nations tremble, Shakespeare looks abroad
From aome high clifranperior, and enjoya
The elementaf WlU'. B11t Waller longs
All on the margin of some Jlowery Btt-eam
To apre&d hie <"..lreleas limbe amid the cool
Of plantain sbadea, and to the listening dee.r
The tale of slighted vows and love'a disdain
Resound soft-warbling e.ll the livelong day:
Conae.Dtintt zephyr sighs ; the weeping rill
Joins in hta plaint, melodious; mule the groves,
.And bill and d&le with all their echoes mourn:
Such and so various are the tastes of men 1
AK!:NsmE.~ofD to builb nv l)alw of Jtin~.
Tnz swallow's nest of mud beneath the eaves
Holda not the white swan's golden feather'd brood.
lf thou would'st make thy thongMI 0 mau, the home
Where other minds may 'habit, bui d it large.
Make its vast roof tran.slucent to the skies,
And let tbe upper $lory dawn thereon,
Till morn and evenmg, circling round, ahaJ.l drop
Their jewell'd plumes ofson-fto.me ant1 of atl\1'11,
B11ild thou that home upon a mountain top,
Where all the free winds shall have apace to blow.
Open ita cuements to the EAst and Wut,
To North an.d South. to Greece and Pe.leatine.
