O DE ON A DISTANT PROSPECT O F ETON COLLEGE. YE E diftant fpires, ye antique towers, Where grateful science ftill adores * King Henry VI. founder of the College. And ye, that from the ftately brow among Wanders the hoary Thames along Ah happy hills, ah pleafing fhade, Ah fields belov'd in vain, Where once my careless childhood stray'd, I feel the gales that from ye blow, As waving fresh their gladsome wing, Say, Father THAMES, for thou haft feen Full many a sprightly race And bees their honey redolent of fpring. |
