Alexander Pope (Александр Поуп)

Lines Written in Windsor Forest

All hail, once pleasing, once inspiring shade!
Scene of my youthful loves and happier hours!
Where the kind Muses met me as I stray'd,
And gently press'd my hand, and said 'Be ours!-
Take all thou e'er shalt have, a constant Muse:
At Court thou may'st be liked, but nothing gain:
Stock thou may'st buy and sell, but always lose,
And love the brightest eyes, but love in vain.' 

1. Occasioned by Some Verses of His Grace the Duke of Buckingham
2. On a Fan of the Author's Design
3. On Seeing the Ladies Crux-Easton Walk in the Woods by the Grotto
4. Verses Left by Mr. Pope
5. Prayer of St. Francis Xavier
