Bleat out afresh, ye Hills; ye moffy Rocks,
Retain the Sound: the broad refponfive Low,
Ye Valleys, raise; for the GREAT SHEPHERD reigns;
And his unfuffering Kingdom yet will come.
Ye Woodlands all, awake: a boundless Song
Burft from the Groves; and when the reftlefs Day,
Expiring, lays the warbling World asleep,
Sweeteft of Birds! fweet Philomela, charm

The listening Shades, and teach the Night His Praife. So
Ye chief, for whom the whole Creation smiles;
At once the Head, the Heart, and Tongue of all,
Crown the great Hymn! in fwarming Cities vaft,
Affembled Men, to the deep Organ join
The long-refounding Voice, oft-breaking clear,
At folemn Paufes, thro the fwelling Bafe;
And, as each mingling Flame increases each,
In one united Ardor rife to Heaven.
Or if you rather chufe the rural Shade,.
And find a Fane in every facred Grove ;.

The prompting Seraph, and the Poet's Lyre,

There let the Shepherd's Flute, the Virgin's Lay,.

For me, when I forget the darling Theme,
Whether the Bloffom blows, the Summer-Ray
Ruffets the Plain, infpiring Autumn gleams;
Or Winter rifes in the blackening East;
Be my Tongue mute, may Fancy paint no more,
And, dead to Joy, forget my Heart to beat!
