The wild bee will not sleep in the shade if there be moonlight.
The rhyme in this verse, as in one about 60 lines before, has an appearance of affectation. It is, however, imitated from Sir W. Scott, or rather from Claud Halcro — in whose mouth I admired its effect.
O! were there an island,
Tho' ever so wild
Where woman might smile, and
No man be beguil'd, &c.
