Nor need he wander from the Muses shade
To view improving taste's progressive power:
No more in knots by skill capricious laid
Does tonsile box fage W ICKHAM 's arms embower.—
Where pious L AUD design'd the hallow'd tower
Throws Art her vesture with a chaster hand;
While, welcome refuge from the sultry hour!
By cooling gales with gentle pinions fann'd
M ERTON 's delightful groves with gloomy foliage stand.
