I prefer an extract on one of the most hackneyed themes of vulgar rhyme, on which he who could produce novelty must have been well entitled to poetic honours. Mention- ing- the task of Giles, in spring, to watch the new- sown crops, and himself to frighten away the rooks, — or having shot a few of the marauders to hangr them up as scarecrows, or spread them out dead on fhe ground, to warn away their pilfering companions, these lines occur: — " This task had Giles in fields renrtote from home; O...ft has he wish'd the rosy morn to come ; Yet never was he famed, nor foremost found, To break the seal of sleep — his sleep was sound ; But when, at daybreak, summon'd from his bed, Light as the lark that caroU'd o'er his head : — His sandy way, deep-worn by hasty showers, O'erarch'd with oaks that form'd fantastic bowers. Waving aloft their towering branches proud, In borrowed tinges from the eastern cloud, — Gave inspiration pure as ever flow'd. And genuine transport in his bosom glow'd.
