The Holy Shrine
Epistle IV, to Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington: "Consult the genius of the place in all; / That tells the waters or to rise, or fall; / Or helps th’ ambitious hill the heav’ns to scale, / Or scoops in circling theatres the vale; / Calls in the country, catches opening glades, / Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades, / Now breaks, or now directs, th’ intending lines; /Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs."
