Where Flora ' s earliest smile Appears , and Ceres spreads her golden store 5 What other object could impart The joy that swells my , raptur'd heart While I re-visit now thy ^ much-lov'd shore : —• While to my favoured eyes Those well-known scenes arise

And leave awhile the tumult of the town ; While , Fancy ! thy creative pow ' r Shall still renew the blissful hour , And still make each remember ed scene thy owa « But not rich Autumn ' s vest , Or Spring by Flora dress'd , Chiefly , O Vectis ! to thy shore invite ;

      But that each soft endearing tie That love or friendship can supply , To cheer the soul and tune the lay unite . Let me by Fate be thrown Beneath the burning zone , Or , ' where stern Winter claims eternal sway ; Only let those I love be there , And the wild waste shall seem more fair Than these bright fields in all the pride of May , POSTHUMUS ,
