And with the charm of theit delicious lore Vary my life, and wai^te the shimmer nOon ; Thus pass my hours beguiled ; but out of tune The lyre will sometimes be, when trials prove The anxious lyri*t : to the count37 soon Of the sweet Siren shall I h6nce remove. Yet, as of yore, the land of idlefese; ease, and love.
