INSCRIPTION, by ALEXANDER POPEPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Nymph of the grot, these sacred springs I keep Last Line: And drink in silence, or in silence lave!
Nymph of the Grot, these sacred Springs I keep, And to the Murmur of these Waters sleep; Ah spare my Slumbers, gently tread the Cave! And drink in silence, or in silence lave!
