Sigh in the breeze, and in the streamlet flow:

There pale inaction pines his life away,

And satiate, curses the return of day;

There love, insatiate, rages wild with pain,

Endures the blast, or plunges in the main;

There superstition broods o’er all her fears

And yells of demons in the zephyr hears

He who a hermit is resolv’d to dwell,

And bids a social life a long farewell,

Is impious.
