Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

“THE summer blooms, let us a while exchange
“Lerwegian scenes for rural, calm delights:
“Come, let us skim the undulating wave,
“Inhale the balmy breeze from yonder mead,
“Which, gilded by the cheering sunny ray,
“Across the silvery bay allures the eye.”
Hope’s vivid promise well nigh realiz’d,
We Hangcliff’s* steep and lofty summit gain,
Which o’er the deep in awful form projects;
And, in one wide and heart-dilating view,
Gives Thul
