ODE . BY THE SAME . O Far remov'd from my retreat Be Avarice and Ambition's feet ! Give me , unconscious of their power , To taste the peaceful , social hour : Give me , beneath the branching vine ; The woodbine sweet , or eglantine , While evening sheds its balmy dews , To court the chaste inspiring Muse ! Or , with the partner of my soul To mix the heart-expanding bowl ! Yes , dear Sabina , when with thee I hail the Goddess , Liberty ; When , joyous , thro' the leafy grove , Or o'er the flowery mead , we rove ; When thy dear , tender bosom shares Thy faithful Delia's joys and cares ; Nor Pomp , nor Wealth my wishes move . Nor the more soft deceiver , Love .
