TRANSLATIONS.

James Beattie

Bathyllus, in yonder lone grove All carelessly let us recline: To shade us the branches above Their leaf-waving tendrils combine;

While a streamlet inviting repose Soft murmuring wanders away, And gales warble wild through the boughs: Who there would not pass the sweet day?
