Page 27 - How happy in his low degree, How rich, in humble poverty, is he, Who leads a quiet country life; Discharg'd of business, void of strife, And from the griping scrivener free!
Page 28 - Or thro' hewn woods their weighty strokes did sound : And after the declining sun Had chang'd the shadows, and their task was done ; Home with their weary team, they took their way, And drown'd in friendly bowls the labours of the day.
