To these with gentle smile her guests incline,

Who come to hear, improve, applaud—and dine.

Her hungry mind on every subject feeds;

She Adam Smith and Dugald Stewart reads;

Locke entertains her, and she wonders why

His famous Essay is consider’d dry.

For her amusement in her vacant hours

Are earths and rocks, and animals and flowers;

She could the farmer at his work assist, 80

A systematic agriculturist.
