INSCRIPTION ON A SUMMER-HOUSE; BELONGING TO MR. WEST, by GILBERT WEST
First Line: Not wrapp'd in smoky london's sulphurous clouds
Last Line: And now the country, now the town, enjoy.
Subject(s): Country Life
First Line: Not wrapp'd in smoky london's sulphurous clouds
Last Line: And now the country, now the town, enjoy.
Subject(s): Country Life
NOT wrapp'd in smoky London's sulphurous clouds,
And not far distant, stands my rural cot:
Neither obnoxious to intruding crowds,
Nor for the good and friendly too remote.
And when too much repose brings on the spleen,
Or the gay city's idle pleasures cloy;
Swift as my changing wish, I change the scene,
And now the country, now the town, enjoy.
