Meditations and Contemplations. In two volumes.
Containing, meditations among the tombs. Reflections on a
flower garden. A descant on creation. Contemplations on
the night. Contemplations on the starry heavens; and, a
winter-piece. By James Hervey. A.B. Late of Lincoln
College, Oxford.
In these lov'd scenes what rapt'rous graces shine,
Live in each leaf, and breathe in ev'ry line!
What sacred beauties beam throughout the whole,
To charm the sense, and steal upon the soul!
. . . [12 more lines]
[On the left-hand margin of this poem is printed:] On Mr.
Hervey's Meditations.
