[00:00:02] Constantinople By Lady Mary Wortley Montagu

[00:00:06] Give me Great God said I a Little Farm

[00:00:09] In Summer shady

[00:00:11] And in Winter warm

[00:00:12] Where a cool spring

[00:00:13] Gives birth to a clear brook

[00:00:15] By Nature slideing down a mossy Rock

[00:00:18] Not artfully in Leaden Pipes conveyed

[00:00:21] Or greatly falling in a forced Cascade

[00:00:24] Pure and unsullyed winding through ye Shade

[00:00:28] All bounteous Heaven has added to my Praier

[00:00:31] A softer Climate and a purer Air

[00:00:34] Our Frozen Isle now chilling Winter binds

[00:00:37] Deformed by Rains

[00:00:39] And rough wth blasting Winds

[00:00:41] Ye withered Woods grown white wth hoary Frost

[00:00:44] By driving storms their scattered beautys lost

[00:00:49] Trembling birds their leaveless coverts shun

[00:00:52] And seek in distant Climes a warmer Sun

[00:00:55] The Water Nymphs their silenced Urns deplore

[00:00:59] Even Thames benumbed a River now no more

[00:01:02] The barren Meadows give no more delight

[00:01:05] By Glistening Snows made painfull to ye Sight

[00:01:10] Fair fertile Fields to warm Indulgent Heaven

[00:01:14] Has every Charm of every Season given

[00:01:17] No Killing Cold deforms ye Beauteous Year

[00:01:20] The springing Flowers no coming Winter Fear

[00:01:23] But as ye Parent Rose decays and dies

[00:01:26] Ye Infant Buds wth brighter Colours rise

[00:01:29] And with fresh sweets ye Mother-scent supplys

[00:01:33] Near them the Vielet glows wth odours blest

[00:01:37] And blooms in more than Tyrian Purple drest

[00:01:40] The rich Jonquils their golden gleam display

[00:01:44] And shine in glorys emulateing day

[00:01:47] These chearfull Groves their living Leaves retain

[00:01:50] The Streams still murmur undefiled by Rain

[00:01:54] And growing Green adorns ye Fruitfull Plain

[00:01:57] The warbling Kind uninterrupted Sing

[00:02:00] Warmed wth Enjoyment of perpetual Spring

[00:02:04] Here from my Window I at once survey

[00:02:07] The crouded City and resounding Sea

[00:02:10] In distant Views see Assian Mountains rise

[00:02:13] And Lose their Snowy Summits in ye Skies

[00:02:16] Above those Mountains high Olympus Towers

[00:02:19] The Parliamental Seat of Heavenly Powers
