"It was a place

Chosen by the Sovereign Maker, when he framed
All things to man's delightful use: the roof,
Of thickest covert was, inwoven shade,
Laurel and myrtle, and what higher grew
Of firm and fragrant leaf; on either side
Acanthus, and each odorous bushy shrub,
Fenced up
the verdant wall; each beauteous

flower,

Iris all hues, roses and jessamine,

Rear'd high their flourished heads between, and

wrought

Mosaic; under foot the violet,

Crocus, and hyacinth, with rich inlay

Broider'd the ground, more colour'd than with

stone

Of costliest emblem."

"SUCH is the love that reigns around,

In palace, hall, or cot,

The looks that beam, the words that sound, The joy that decks the spot :

The hymn floats softly through the vale,

The scent of flowers is in the gale,
Combining joy and summer sun,
Perfume and music, all in one.
This is the time so long foreseen,
When ages roll their years between ;

Oh! may it be an endless reign,

Nor earth know other rule again!"
