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.
