More pleasing morfels would afford

my

fields;

Than the fat olives of
Than fhards or mallows for the pot,

That keep the loosen'd body found,
Or than the lamb, that falls by lot

To the juft guardian of my ground.
Amidst these feafts of happy fwains,
The jolly fhepherd smiles to fee
His flock returning from the plains;
The farmer is as pleas'd as he
To view his oxen sweating smoke,
Bear on their necks the loofen'd yoke:
To look upon his menial crew,

That fit around his chearful hearth,

And bodies spent in toil renew

With wholesome food and country mirth..

This Morecraft faid within himself,

Refolv'd to leave, the wicked town:

And live retir'd upon his own,

He call'd his money in ;

He

But the prevailing love of pelf,
Soon fplit him on the former shelf,
put it out again.
