From the Gentleman’s Magazine. A POEM on bis native Country, &y a Wellk Curate remov’d into England. E Britifs Alps, where firft [ drew My vital breath, I fing to you. Black mountains falfly call’d, who wear A [nowy mantla half the year. As mariners, whom {ome kind plank ‘Bears o’er the waves to rock or bank, The tempeft view with pleafing dread, And love to tell the dangers fled : So I from cold and hunger free, "Your diftant hills with plealure fee; Joyful refle&t what frofts I fhun, Now bafking in & warmer fun. The fates be bleft, and bleft the time, X left your barren barbarous clime ; A clime where not & man is fat, Where bread is coarle, and blsck as jet. On roots and herbs from day to day They live, on butter milk and whey ; Oats-cake fometimes, the genilemen Have eggs and bacon now snd then. ‘Had our firft parents here tranfgre(s’d, They fcarce with fig /zaves had been drefs’d. No figs, no dates, no prunes are heve, And fcarce a tree a crab will bear. - Wile nature did this herd divide _And fep’rste from the World befide. .. 'T'he uncouth langusge of the land .

Chain’d, like Promesbeas, to a rock: Nor. milk the fhepherd had, nor meat .‘Scarce cloaths to wear, or bread to eat. _The wags wonld fsy, The paltor’s bare, His fheep are goats, their woolis hair. {Truth fpoke in é.ffi) for goats they were, And never worth his pains to'fhear. - “Thanks to'the pow'r,that mov’d me thence, " "T'o land of bread, to men of fenfe, " Where plénty’s horn sbundance theds, * And -pours its bleflings on our hetds ; “*Delicious cyder crowns our bowls, - " Ne&tar of gods to raife our fouls.
