Wills not the useless favourite to be sold;
He knows his former worth, and gives him place
In some fair pasture, till he runs his race.
But has the labourer, has the seaman done
220
Less worthy service, thought not dealt to one?
Shall we not, then, contribute to their ease,
In their old haunts, where ancient objects please;
That, till their sight shall fail them, they may trace
The well-known prospect and the long-loved face?
