The Deserted Village. Line 161.

And as a bird each fond endearment tries

To tempt its new-fledg'd offspring to the skies,

He tried each art, reprov'd each dull delay,

Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way.

The Deserted Village. Line 167.

Truth from his lips prevail'd with double sway,

And fools who came to scoff, remain'd to pray.[397:1]
