And walked within the Place below,

But the green Wood conceal’d the pair

From me, who walking felt the Glow

Of all the Vanity and pride

That push’d the intruding World aside.

And now, while thus enwrap’d and fed

With thoughts that self indulgence bred,

I heard a Shriek so long and loud

That prov’d the Shriekers were not proud, 60

But would accept the meanest Aid
