And boast of that change we deplore.

Dear to me was the wild-thorny Hill,

And dear the brown Heath's sober scene;

And Youth shall find Happiness still,

Tho' he roves not on Common or Green:

Tho' the pressure of Wealth's lordly hand

Shall give Emulation no scope,

And tho' all the' appropriate Land

Shall leave Indigence nothing to hope.
