Productions to our ancestors unknown,

And also glorify each rural scene

By the announcements of their excellence!

And how we pity those of olden time

Who praised the country, but so little knew

What beauty could be added to the scene

By the artistic advertiser’s aid,

To whom the hills, the meadows, and the woods

Brought no glad message, such as we receive,

Of Soaps and Sugars, Pens, Pianos, Pills!
