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;
