T HE hint of the following piece was taken from

1 Chaucer's House of Fame. The design is in a manner entirely altered, the descriptions and most of the particular thoughts my own: yet I could not suffer it to be printed without this acknowledgment. The reader who would compare this with Chaucer, may begin with his third Book of Fame, there being nothing in the two first books that answers to their title : whereever any hint is taken from him, the passage itself is set down in the marginal notes.

TN that soft season, when descending show'rs

Callforth thegreens, andwake the rising flow'rs;
When op’ning buds salute the welcome day,
And earth relenting feels the genial ray:
As balmy sleep had charm’d my cares to rest, 5
And love itself was banish'd from my breast,
(What time the morn mysterious visions brings,
While purer slumbers spread their golden wings)
