The royal husbandman appeared,

And ploughed, and sowed, and tilled;

The thorns he rooted out, the rubbish cleared,

And blest the obedient field

When strait a double harvest rose,

Such as the swarthy Indian mows,

Or happier climates near the Line,

Or paradise manured, and drest by hands divine.
