Or wicked joys of that proud swelling pelf,

But leads a still, poor, and contented life.

[3737]———Novus incola venit;

Nam propriae telluris herum natura, neque illum.

Nec me, nec quenquam statuit; nos expulit ille:

Illum aut nequities, aut vafri inscitia juris.

———have we liv'd at a more frugal rate,

Since this new stranger seiz'd on our estate?

Nature will no perpetual heir assign,

Or make the farm his property or mine.
