Placed near the town, and where, from window high,

The fair, confined, may our free crowds espy,

With many a stranger gazing up and down,

And all the envied tumult of the town;

Are sent to sleep the pleasant hours away,

Behold the poor (whom they conceive the bless'd)

Employ'd for hours, and grieved they cannot rest.

Here the fond girl, whose days are sad and few

Since dear mamma pronounced the last adieu,
