It runs thus: viz. b Quam uulce intonfos Lucos, quam dulce ReceiTus Ild’fonsi luftrare facros, Fontefque perennes, Et Myrto obdu&os, Antra O Caeleftia, Montes! Saepe ubi, capta Loci mira Dulcedine, feftis Agmina Hamadryadum Choreas duxere Diebus# Tales efle Locos Lretos, et amsena Vireta Fortunatorum Nemorum, Sedefque Beatas Crediderim : blandi qua mollior Aura Favoni EafcivitCampos ubi Lumine gratior iEther Ambit purpureo, et multo circum halat Odore. Tranflated thus : viz. How fweet to range thy Sylvan Shades, O Saint Ild’fonso, and thofe Glades! Thofe Falls of Fountains to furvey, And ’midfl thofe Myrtle Groves to ftray ! Where Crowds of Wood-Nymphs oft retreat. Enamour'd of the Blifsful Seat; And, rev’ling in thofe Rofeate Bow’rs, In jocond Dances hail the Hours. Such thy Bleft Scenes, Elysium, bloom. And thus difplay their folemn Gloom. Where, during one Eternal Spring, i Favoni us fpreads a fofter Wing. While no unwelcome fiery Ray Darts from the glaring Orb of Day ; But gently o’er th5 extended Lawns A Purple Light divinely dawns. Whilft ev’ry Tree, and Shrub, and Flower, In ev’ry Grot, Recefs, and Bower, With rich Ambrosial Efience crown’d, DifFufe Celeftial Odours round.
