    The Famed Delour
    I
    My inclination for mediation
    Requires the aid of the muses nine
    For in my travells to Mount Pernasses
    I became acquainted with a prince sublime
    His kind assistance without resistance
    He freely promised at any hour
    If I’d entreat him he’ed elevate me
    To sing the praises of the fame Delour.

    From a lofty mountain a purling Fountain
    Extends its course through a winding vale
    Through Lacca’s arbour when nature formed
    Commodious woods and aspiring dales
    Cold winters breeze ne’er disolves the trees
