I
One eve in the sweet Summer season.
All nature seemed charming to view,
I roved out for sweet recreation
When leisure left nothing to do

through which a clear streamlet glides down,
To moisten the emerald region.

Until I arrived at the "Frolick",
Renowned both in story and song.

There is a view of the country all round.
