(The marked words would have been pronounced as if they had only two syllables.)
Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheer'd the labouring
swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering
blooms delay'd:
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
How often have I loiter'd o'er thy green,
--Oliver Goldsmith
