In August 1735.
I.
1 GO, Thames, and tell the busy town,
2 Not all its wealth or pride
3 Cou'd tempt me from the charms that crown
4 That rural flow'ry side:
II.
5 Thy flow'ry side, where POPE has plac'd
6 The Muses' green retreat,
7 With ev'ry smile of Nature grac'd,
8 With ev'ry art compleat.
III.
9 But now, sweet bard, thy heav'nly song
10 Enchants us here no more;
11 Their darling glory lost too long
12 Thy once lov'd shades deplore.
IV.
13 Yet still for beauteous G—lle's sake,
14 The Muses here remain;
15 G—lle, whose eyes have power to make
16 A POPE of ev'ry swain.
