Go ! tell him pleasant tales of home , your home , A sunny bank by some delicious rill ; Where , if a loosened pebble chanced to come , The sportive plash each floweret ' s cup would fill
With liquid brilliants ; tell of vale and hill , And Spring boughs , the same tale some wandering thrush ( Ye are no truants ) warbled forth , until By fancy charmed he hear that thrilling gush Of hurried sweetness , and awhile his sufferings hush !

When a miller finds that the stream is too scanty to yield sufficient power , he builds a
dam across its course , and thus hoards his power till it accumulates sufficiently for his purposes . The Tories , dissatisfied with the gradual progression of Reform , build a dam across its channels , in the vain hope of altogether stopping it .
