The following poem was wrote by I.F. Esq; May 1770, when he
bid adieu to the busy scenes of life, and retreated to the
shady groves and purling streams; and tho' he is now in the
camp, nothing but the distressed circumstances of his
bleeding country, could have called him from his delightful
habitation. a seat so friendly to the masses, near the
borders of pleasant mountains, which is a beautiful emblem
of the ancient Parnassus, where the graces fixed their
abode.
No more the court not martial themes,
Delight me like the verdant groves,
Where I concert my rural schemes,
Midst singing birds,and cooing doves. . .
