Who walk this favoured ground. But chance-regards,

And notice forced upon incurious ears;

These, if these only, acting in despite

Of the encomiums by my Friend pronounced

On humble life, forbid the judging mind

To trust the smiling aspect of this fair

And noiseless commonwealth. The simple race

Of mountaineers (by nature's self removed

From foul temptations, and by constant care

Of a good shepherd tended as themselves
