Now let us range both far, and wide,
Thro' all the gardens boafted pride.
Here Jafmines fpread the filvei (low'r, .
To deck the wall or weave the bow'r,
The Woodbines mix in am'r^.us play,
And hreathe their fragrant lives away.
There rifmg Myrtles form a ihade ;
There Rofes bluih, and fcent the glade j
The Orange, with a vernal face,
Wears ev'ry rich autumnal grace;
While the young blofibms here unfold,
' There fhincs the fruit like pendant gold;
" Citrons their balmy fweets exhale,
" And triumph in the diftant gale. COTTON,.
