Hayes' setting, as a catch, of "Words underneath a Statue of a sleeping Nymph, in the Grotto at Stourton Wilts, the seat of H. Hoare, Esqr." [viz. Stourhead]
Lyrics: Alexander Pope
Nymph of the grot, these sacred springs I keep,
And to the murmur of these waters sleep.
Whoe'er thou art, ah, gently tread the cave,
And bathe in silence, or in silence lave.
Nymph of the grot, these sacred springs I keep,
And to the murmur of these waters sleep.
Whoe'er thou art, ah, gently tread the cave,
And bathe in silence, or in silence lave.
