And they perhaps err least, the lowly class

Whom a benign necessity compels

To follow reason's least ambitious course;

Such do I mean who, unperplexed by doubt,

And unincited by a wish to look

Into high objects farther than they may,

Pace to and fro, from morn till even-tide,

The narrow avenue of daily toil

For daily bread."

"Yes," buoyantly exclaimed
