Transcrib'd
from
the
Rev.
Mr.
PIXEL'S
Parsonage
Garden
near
BIRMINGHAM
,
1757.
SEEK
not
in
these
paths
to
view
Dryads
green
,
or
Naiads
blue
;
Such
as
haunt
,
at
eve
or
dawn
,
Seat
of
the
Earl
of
Stamford
.
Enville's
lake
,
or
Seat
of
lord
Lyttelton
.
Hagley's
lawn
:
Such
as
sport
on
Seat
of
Sherrington
Davenport
,
Esq
Worfield's
meads
;
Such
as
Shenstone's
Genius
leads
O'er
vale
and
hill
,
and
to
their
care
Consigns
his
waves
and
woodlands
fair
;
While
the
Muses
vacant
stray
,
And
Echo
wants
her
sweetest
lay
.
Long
,
long
may
those
unrival'd
shine
,
Nor
shall
my
temp'rate
breast
repine
,
So
Music
lend
her
willing
aid
To
gladden
this
ignoble
shade
;
So
Peace
endear
this
humble
plain
—
And
haply
Elegance
will
deign
To
wander
here
,
and
smiling
see
Her
sister
nymph
Simplicity
.
