And planted well behind—a lively scene, and new: }
A little taste, a little pomp, display’d 30
By a dull man, who had retired from trade
To enjoy his leisure—Here he came prepared
To farm, nor cost in preparation spared;
But many works he purchased, some he read, }
And often rose with projects in his head, }
Of crops in courses raised, of herds by matching bred. }
We had just found these little humours out;
Just saw—he saw not—what he was about;
