Contents

Hark, Damon, hark -- Hark how the wild musicians sing -- How pleasant is this flow'ry plain -- If ever I more riches did desire -- Oh! what a scene does entertain my sight -- See where she sits -- Soft notes and gently rais'd accent -- We reap all the pleasures -- In a deep vision's intellectual scene
