But let the philosophic bard pursue Such lofty themes, though not more high than true; The humbler muse, pleas'd with a softer lay, Shall sing where love and beauty point the way.
13 In after-time, for so 'tis sung or said, A son of Venus left the Paphian shade ; Forsook the graces, and the queen of love, To hunt and fish in this elysian grove ; Londonus was the wandering hero's name, Who hither came in quest of sylvan fame. No sooner had the day hegan to hreak Than he commenced his tour around... the lake, Casting an anxious eye upon the flood, Till he arriv'd at where the fountain stood ; And, counting on the joys that were to come, He quite forgot the pleasures left at home : But when the golden fish began to play, And tempt his hand in every pleasing way, He found that all his brightest hopes were vain, Of making war upon the finney train, For he had left his fishing line and hook Hung o'er the willows, by the Phrygian brook. With disappointment stung he sought the wood, And o'er the sad mishap hegan to brood ; When, looking down, as if to shun the light, A string of glittering stars broke on his sight !
