   • 1806, The British Critic, volume XXIX, page 431:

     “ Ah! welcome merry hour of dawn!

     The freſh breeze ruſtling thro’ the corn,

     The riſing ſun’s præluſive beams

     That dance in gold on glaſſy ſtreams,

     The goſſamour’s fine ſilvery thread

     That lightly float o’er field‐flower’s head,

     The dew‐drops left by weeping night,

     That crown green leaves with beads of light,

     Now ſweetly ſwell the peaſant’s lay

     And greet the blue‐ey’d bluſhing day!
