Or in a humble Ode express our sense

Of th' happy state of ease and innocence;

A country life where the contented swain

30Hugs his dear peace, and does a crown disdain;

Can creep on Earth, can up to Heaven fly;

In heights and cadences, so sweet, so strong,

They suit a shepherd's reed, an angel's tongue.
