I think the following lines, addressed to a young lady who
was going to leave the country and live in the city, do
honor to female friendship. . . . [signed] C.
I.
Ah! why from the woodlands retire?
Why plunge amidst folly and noise?
Has Daphne forgot to admire
These plains and their innocent joys?
. . . [4 lines and 3 verses, then]
Then stay--and we'll ramble along
Yon streamlet that waters and vale,
And hark to the shepherds sweet song,
That floats in the evening gale.
. . . [4 lines and 1 verse]
