VOL. III

"The spleen is seldom felt where Flora reigns;

The low'ring eye, the petulance, the frown,

And sullen sadness, that o'ershade, distort,

And mar the face of beauty, when no cause

For such immeasurable woe appears;

These Flora banishes, and gives the fair

Sweet smiles and bloom, less transient than her own."

COWPER.
