Bound o'er the lawn, or seek the distant glade;

And find a home in each delightful shade.

Will the tall reem, which knows no lord but me,

Low at the crib, and ask an alms of thee;

Submit his unworn shoulder to the yoke,

Break the stiff clod, and o'er thy furrow smoke?

Since great his strength, go trust him, void of care;

Lay on his neck the toil of all the year;

Bid him bring home the seasons to thy doors,

And cast his load among thy gather'd stores.
