Lines Written in the Grot at Stourhead, the Seat of Sir Richard Colt Hare, Bart.
Nymph of the Grot, these sacred springs I keep,
And to the murmurs of these waters sleep.
Ah! spare my slumbers—gently tread the cave,
And drink in silence, or in silence lave.
From the Latin of Cardinal Bimbo.
Yes , guardian Nymph, thy cave I softly tread,
With veneration view thy tranquil bed.
The tuneful vow from whispering Zephyrs take,
I would not for a realm thy slumbers break.
And to the murmurs of these waters sleep.
Ah! spare my slumbers—gently tread the cave,
And drink in silence, or in silence lave.
From the Latin of Cardinal Bimbo.
Yes , guardian Nymph, thy cave I softly tread,
With veneration view thy tranquil bed.
The tuneful vow from whispering Zephyrs take,
I would not for a realm thy slumbers break.
