Chance, or design, perhaps, has brought you down ; Before you reach that Bridge, take my advice. And quit your open carriage in a trice ; Walk slowly on, the better to descry Those proud and s...tately Piles that meet your eye. Once in a morning walk, for exercise. By chance a Stranger pass'd before my eyes ; I recollect it well — and well I may, For June had lengthened out the longest day ; 2 THE BEAUTIES OF OXFORD. Anxious he stood, perceiving that I knew Not where to visit first, what steps pursue ; He sympathiz'd with my embarrasment, And would go with me, wheresoe'er I went : In this dilemma I could not contend, And did adopt him as my guide and friend. But time is precious ; 'fis so much so, that We will not waste it now in useless chat : Butlet^me recommend — admire, and feel, ihe nun?' rOUs wonders of this grand coup doeil, — JE^io]d, u^numfe6r'd, '.
