GROTTO near the THAMES,

at TWICKENHAM,

Compofed of Marbles, Spars, and Minerals.

By Mr. P O P E.

HOU who shalt stop, where Thames' translucent wave

TH

Shines a broad mirrour through the fhadowy cave,

Where lingering drops from mineral roofs diftill,
And pointed cryftals break the fparkling rill,
Unpolish'd gems no ray on pride beftow,
And latent metals innocently glow:
Approach. Great NATURE ftudiously behold!

And

eye the mine without a wish for gold.
