Hence, at each picture, vivid life starts here! Hence his warm lay with softest sweetness flows! Melting it flows, pure, murm'ring, strong and clear, And fills th'impassion'd heart, and wins th' harmo nious ear! XIII. All hail! ye scenes, that o'er my soul prevail ! Or o'er your stretching heaths, by Fancy led; Or o'er your mountains creep in awful gloom! * + ‡ Three rivers in Scotland. Then will I dress once more the faded bower, Where Jonson* sat in Drummond's classic shade; Or crop, from Tiviotdale, each lyric flower, And mourn, on Yarrow's banks, where Willy's laid! Mean time, ye pow'rs that on the plains which bore The cordial youth, on Lothian's plains, attend!— Where'er Home dwells, on hill, or lowly moor, To him I lose, your kind protection lend, And, touch'd with love like mine, preserve my absent friend! *Ben Jonson paid a visit on foot, in 1619, to the Scotch poet Drummond, at his seat of Hawthornden, within four miles of Edinburgh.
