Eclogue III.
ABRA; or, THE GEORGIAN SULTANA.
Scene, a forest.
Time, the evening.
In Georgia's land, where Tefflis' towers are seen,
In distant view along the level green,
While evening dews enrich the glittering glade,
And the tall forests cast a longer shade,
. . . [18 lines]
Among the vocal vales he heard her song,
. . . [11 lines]
Go leave the simple pipe, and shepherd's strain;
. . . [13 lines]
Some simple lay, of flocks and herds they sung;
With joy the mountain, and the forest rung.
. . . [22 more lines]
