INSCRIPTION by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: NYMPH OF THE GROT, THESE SACRED SPRINGS I KEEP
Last Line: AND DRINK IN SILENCE, OR IN SILENCE LAVE!

Nymph of the Grot, these sacred Springs I keep,
And to the Murmur of these Waters sleep;
Ah spare my Slumbers, gently tread the Cave!
And drink in silence, or in silence lave!
