For whom like service, now and then his choice,

Relieves the tedious holiday of age—

Thoughts raised above the Earth while here he sits 140

Feeding on sunshine—to the blushing girl

Who here forgets her errand, nothing loth

To be waylaid by her betrothed, peace

And pleasure sobered down to happiness!

But should these hills be ranged by one whose soul 145

Scorning love-whispers shrinks from love itself

As Fancy’s snare for female vanity,
