ON the Brow of Richmond Hill,
Which Europe scarce can parallel,
Ev'ry Eye such Wonders fill,
    To view the Prospect round;
By whose fair Fruitful side,
The Silver Thames does softly glide,
Meadows dress'd in Summers Pride,
    With verdant Beauties crown'd:
Lovely Cynthia passing by,
With brighter Glories blest my Eye,
Ah! then in vain, in vain said I,
    The Fields and Flowers do shine:
Nature in this Charming Place,
Created Pleasure in Excess,
But all are Poor to Cynthia's Face,
    Whose Features are Divine.
