  1. You gentle muses assist my genius.
    Celestial maidens refine my skill.
    Till I relate of the blending maze
    And situation of lovely Kill
    2nd Verse
    Round Mr. Lanauze's sweet situation It's there wise nature her gifts bestow
    Where wood and water and prospect pleases
    Throughout the shady groves soft zephyr blows
    3rd Verse
    This lovely place is so by nature formed
    It shows a charming declining green
    All sorts of flowers that grow in gardens
    Are in the lawn's variegated scene.
    4th Verse
    On crystal waters in glossy forms.
    The rosy morning reflects the day
    The speckled trout
    All round the harbour do sport and play
    5th Verse.
    Instrumental and vocal music
    Sure there strains of joy and love
