Between the dark [?embosomed] forest sheen
Sparkling in [?partial] greeting the stream
Where fall the western lights enbeaming ray
Excluded, there the deep reflections play
Then wide ext[...]d [i.e. ‘extended’] downs of [?‘gos’, i.e. ‘gorse’] and corn
Wild & cultured land and those that never shorn
Lie only tended by the scatterd sheep
Where the neglected ever seems to creep
Struggled with difficulty like a [?serpents] train
In form in writing with [?disease] and pain
Beyond these barren tracts yon level plain
Trough [i.e. ‘Through’] which the Ex [i.e. ‘Exe’] rolls sullen to the main
Begirt with honors of Pomona’s care
his busy crowded clamours Exeter
The <[?Town]>[...] and civic then attest
and Commerce
