Note 37 — SPRING:
Reading edition
Originally thus in the manuscript:
Pan, let my numbers equal Strephon's lays, Of Parian stone thy statue will I raise; But if I conquer and augment my fold, Thy Parian statue shall be changed to gold.—Warburton.
This he formed on Dryden's Vir. Ecl. vii. 45:
Thy statue then of Parian stone shall stand; But if the falling lambs increase my fold, Thy marble statue shall be turned to gold.—Wakefield.
