    And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine;
    A small Euphrates thro' the piece is roll'd,
    And little eagles wave their wings in gold.

Ayr, gurgling, kissed his pebbled shore,
O'erhung with wild woods, thickening green;
The fragrant birch and hawthorn hoar
Twined amorous round the raptures scene.

With a lover's pain to attain the plain,
Far from the hills of Habersham,
Far from the valleys of Hall.
