Language: English
Where winding Forth adorns the vale, Fond Strephon, once a shepherd gay, Did to the rocks his lot bewail, And thus address'd his plaintive lay: O Julia, more than lily fair, More blooming than the op'ning rose, How can thy breast, relentless, wear A heart more cold than winter's snows.
