That long the scene of rustic Sports had been.
Unenvied People! may ye still partake
Life’s honest Joys and pure, and late may ye forsake!
The whiten’d Church and Vicar’s low Abode
Are near each other and these Dwellings near;
But, far from Town and from the public Road,
Few Travellers stray, few Strangers travel here;
Where yet an Inn, “The Tracy’s Arms,” appear, 50
The Mill, the Shop, and Trades that Peasants need,
But Farmers all; the Soil to all so dear
