Whistles o’er the furrowed land,

And the milkmaid singeth blithe, 65

And the mower whets his scythe,

[And every shepherd tells his tale]

[Under the hawthorn in the dale.]

Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures,

Whilst [the landskip] round it measures: 70

[Russet lawns], and fallows gray,

Where the nibbling flocks do stray;

Mountains on whose barren breast
