To pace the ground, tf path there be or JI.One,
While a fair region round the Traveller lies
Which he forbean again to look upon·;
Pleased rather with IIOme aon Hleal aoene,
Tbe work of Fancy, or eome happy ~ne
or meditation, alipping in 'between
The beauty coming and the beauty gone..
-If Thought and Lo~e deaerl u1, from that day
Let ue break off all commerce with .the Muse:
With Thought an•l Love companions or our way-

. Whate'er the seDIIea take or m~y refuae,-
The Mind'• internal heaven shall shed 'her dewa
Of ioepiration ou the humblest lay.
