In country villages each step is seen;

Thus, round the whisper went of what had been,

And placed at length the thorn where all was ease;

The pow'rs divine alone it could displease.

'Twas pleasant them together to behold;

The wives, in emulation, were not cold;

In easy talk they'd to each other say:

How pleasing to exchange from day to day!

What think you, neighbour, if, to try our luck,

For once we've something new, and valets truck?
