Clad, as your nymphs were always clad of yore, In rustic weeds a cook-maid now no more Beneath an aged oak Lardella lies, Green moss her couch ; her canopy the skies. From aromatic shrubs the roguish gale 1 This heading appears in the 4to. Editions. In Tooke's edition, 1804, the following heading is first printed: Xos patriam fiigimus. VIRGIL. We all get out of our country as fast as we can. VOL. I. H 98 THE POEMS OF CHURCHILL.
Steals young perfumes, and wafts them through the vale. 20 The yout...h, turn'd swain, and skill'd in rustic lays, Fast by her side his amorous descant plays. Herds low, flocks bleat, pies chatter, ravens scream, And the full chorus dies a-down the stream. The streams, with music freighted, as they pass Present the fair Lardella with a glass, And Zephyr, to complete the love-sick plan, Waves his light wings, and serves her for a fan.
But when maturer Judgment takes the lead, These childish toys on Reason's altar bleed ; 30 Form'd after some great man, whose name breeds awe, Whose every sentence Fashion makes a law ; Who on mere credit his vain trophies rears, And founds his merit on our servile fears ; Then we discard the workings of the heart, And nature's banish'd by mechanic art; Then, deeply read, our reading must be shown ; Vain is that knowledge which remains unknown : Then Ostentation marches to our aid, And letter'd Pride stalks forth in full parade ; 4u Beneath their care behold the work refine, Pointed each sentence, polish'd every line ; Trifles are dignified, and taught to wear The robes of ancients with a modern air ; Nonsense with classic ornaments is graced, And passes current with the stamp of taste.
