A SCOTCH ODE: ON SPRING.
Solvitur acris hiems, -Horace
  Now gowans sprout and lavricks sing, 
  And welcome west-winds warm the spring, 
  O'er hill and dale they saftly blau, 
  And drive the winter's cauld awa.
. . . [8 lines]
  With her gay train the Paphian Queen, 
  By moon-light, dances on the green;
  She leads, while nymphs and graces sing
  And trip, around the fairy ring.
. . . [4 more lines]
