-Mistaken long, I sought you then -In busy companys of men. - -Your sacred plants, if here below, -Only among the plants will grow. -Society is all but rude -To this delicious solitude. - -No white, nor red was ever seen -So am’rous as this lovely green. -Fond lovers, cruel as their flame, -Cut in these trees their mistress’ name, -Little, alas! they know or heed, -How far these beautys her exceed! -Fair trees! where’er your barks I wound, -No name shall but your own be found. - -When we have run our passion’s heat, -Love hither makes his best retreat. -The gods, who mortal beauty chase, -Still in a tree did end their race. -Apollo hunted Daphne so, -Only that she might laurel grow: -And Pan did after Syrinx speed, -Not as a nymph, but for a reed. - -[Illustration] - -What wond’rous life is this I lead! -Ripe apples drop about my head. -The luscious clusters of the vine -Upon my mouth do crush their wine. -The nectarine, and curious peach, -Into my hands themselves do reach. -Stumbling on melons, as I pass, -Insnar’d with flow’rs, I fall on grass. - -Mean while the mind, from pleasure less, -Withdraws into its happiness: -The mind, that ocean where each kind -Does streight its own resemblance find; -Yet it creates, transcending these, -Far other worlds, and other seas; -Annihilating all that’s made -To a green thought in a green shade. - -Here at the fountain’s sliding foot, -Or at some fruit tree’s mossy root, -Casting the body’s vest aside, -My soul into the boughs does glide: - -[Illustration] - -There, like a bird, it sits and sings, -Then whets, and claps its silver wings: -And, till prepar’d for longer flight, -Waves in its plumes the various light. - -Such was that happy garden-state, -While man there walk’d without a mate: -After a place so pure and sweet, -What other help could yet be meet! -But ’twas beyond a mortal’s share -To wander solitary there: -Two paradises are in one, -To live in paradise alone. - -How well the skilful gard’ner drew -Of flow’rs, and herbs, this dial new! -Where, from above, the milder sun -Does through a fragrant zodiac run: -And, as it works, th’ industrious bee -Computes its time as well as we. -How could such sweet and wholsome hours -Be reckon’d but with herbs and flow’rs? - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE WISH. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: The Wish] - -WELL, then; I now do plainly see, -This busie World and I shall ne’er agree; -The very _Honey_ of all Earthly Joy -Does of all Meats the soonest _cloy_. - And they (methinks) deserve my Pity -Who for it can endure the Stings, -The _Croud_, and _Buz_, and _Murmurings_ - Of this great Hive, the City. - -[Illustration: A]H! yet, ere I descend to the Grave, -May I a _small House_ and _large Garden_ have! -And a _few Friends_, and _many Books_, both true, -Both wise, and both delightful too! -And since _Love_ ne’er will from me flee, -A _Mistress_ moderately fair, -And good as _Guardian-Angels_ are, - Only belov’d, and loving me!

-_She_ who is all the World, and can exclude -In _Deserts Solitude;_ - I should have then this only Fear, -Lest Men, when they my Pleasures see, -Should hither throng to live like me, -And so make a _City_ here. - ---FROM “THE MISTRESS,” BY ABRAHAM COWLEY. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -QUINCE. - -BY WINTHROP MACKWORTH PRAED. - - -[Illustration: N]EAR a small village in the West, -Where many very worthy people -Eat, drink, play whist, and do their best -To guard from evil church and steeple, -There stood--alas! it stands no more!-- -A tenement of brick and plaster, -Of which, for forty years and four, -My good friend Quince was lord and master. - -Welcome was he in hut and hall, -To maids and matrons, peers and peasants; -He won the sympathies of all -By making puns and making presents. -Though all the parish were at strife, -He kept his council and his carriage, -And laugh’d, and loved a quiet life, -And shrank from chancery suits and marriage. - -Sound was his claret--and his head; -Warm was his double ale--and feelings; -His partners at the whist club said -That he was faultless in his dealings. -He went to church but once a week; -Yet Dr. Poundtext always found him -An upright man who studied Greek, -And liked to see his friends around him. - -[Illustration] - -Asylums, hospitals, and schools -He used to swear were made to cozen -All who subscribed to them were fools-- -And he subscribed to half a dozen. - -[Illustration] - -It was his doctrine that the poor -Were always able, never willing; -And so the beggar at his door -Had first abuse, and then a shilling. - -Some public principles he had, -But was no flatterer nor fretter; -He rapp’d his box when things were bad. -And said, “I cannot make them better!” -And much he loathed the patriot’s snort, -And much he scorn’d the placeman’s snuffle, -And cut the fiercest quarrels short -With “Patience, gentlemen, and shuffle!” - -[Illustration] - -For full ten years his pointer Speed -Had couch’d beneath her master’s table; -For twice ten years his old white steed -Had fatten’d in his master’s stable. -Old Quince averr’d, upon his troth, -They were the ugliest beasts in Devon; -And none knew why he fed them both -With his own hands six days in seven. - -Whene’er they heard his ring or knock, -Quicker than thought the village slatterns -Flung down the novel, smoothed the frock, -And took up Mrs. Glasse and patterns. -Adine was studying baker’s bills; -Louisa look’d the queen of knitters; -Jane happen’d to be hemming frills; -And Bell by chance was making fritters. - -[Illustration] - -But all was vain; and while decay -Came like a tranquil moonlight o’er him, -And found him gouty still and gay, -With no fair nurse to bless or bore him, -His rugged smile and easy-chair, -His dread of matrimonial lectures, -His wig, his stick, his powder’d hair, -Were themes for very strange conjectures. - -Some sages thought the stars above -Had crazed him with excess of knowledge; -Some heard he had been crost in love -Before he came away from college; -Some darkly hinted that his Grace -Did nothing great or small without him; -Some whisper’d with a solemn face -That there was “something odd about him!” - -[Illustration] - -I found him, at threescore and ten, -A single man, but bent quite double: -Sickness was coming on him then, -To take him from a world of trouble. -He prosed of slipping down the hill, -Discovered he grew older daily: -One frosty day he made his will; -The next he sent for Doctor Bailey. - -And so he lived, and so he died!--When -last I sat beside his pillow, -He shook my hand, and “Ah!” he cried, -“Penelope must wear the willow. -Tell her I hugg’d her rosy chain -While life was flickering in the socket; -And say that when I call again, -I’ll bring a license in my pocket. - -[Illustration] - -“I’ve left my house and grounds to Fag-- -I hope his master’s shoes will suit him; -And I’ve bequeathed to you my nag, -To feed him for my sake, or shoot him. -The vicar’s wife will take old Fox-- -She’ll find him an uncommon mouser; -And let her husband have my box, -My Bible, and my Assmanshauser. - -“Whether I ought to die or not, -My doctors cannot quite determine; -It’s only clear that I shall rot, -And be, like Priam, food for vermin. -My debts are paid; but nature’s debt -Almost escaped my recollection: -Tom! we shall meet again; and yet -I cannot leave you my direction.” - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE VICAR. - -BY WINTHROP MACKWORTH PRAED. - - -[Illustration: S]OME years ago, ere time and taste - Had turned our parish topsy-turvy, -When Darnel Park was Darnel Waste, - And roads as little known as scurvy, -The man who lost his way between - St. Mary’s Hill and Sandy Thicket -Was always shown across the green, - And guided to the Parson’s wicket. - -Back flew the bolt of lissom lath; - Fair Margaret, in her tidy kirtle, -Led the lorn traveller up the path, - Through clean-clipt rows of box and myrtle; - -And Don and Sancho, Tramp and Tray, - Upon the parlour steps collected, -Wagged all their tails, and seem’d to say-- - “Our master knows you--you’re expected.” - -Uprose the Reverend Dr. Brown, - Uprose the Doctor’s winsome marrow; -The lady laid her knitting down, - Her husband clasped his ponderous Barrow; -Whate’er the stranger’s caste or creed, - Pundit or Papist, saint or sinner, -He found a stable for his steed, - And welcome for himself, and dinner. - -If, when he reached his journey’s end, - And warm’d himself in Court or College, -He had not gained an honest friend, - And twenty curious scraps of knowledge,-- -If he departed as he came, - With no new light on love and liquor,-- -Good sooth, the traveller was to blame, - And not the Vicarage, or the Vicar. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -His talk was like a stream which runs - With rapid change from rocks to roses: -It slipt from politics to puns, - It pass’d from Mahomet to Moses; -Beginning with the laws which keep - The planets in their radiant courses, -And ending with some precept deep - For dressing eels, or shoeing horses. - -[Illustration] - -He was a shrewd and sound Divine, - Of loud Dissent the mortal terror; -And when, by dint of page and line, - He ’stablish’d Truth, or startled Error, -The Baptist found him far too deep, - The Deist sigh’d with saving sorrow, -And the lean Levite went to sleep, - And dream’d of tasting pork to-morrow. - -His sermon never said or show’d - That earth is foul, that Heaven is gracious, -Without refreshment on the road - From Jerome or from Athanasius: - -[Illustration] - -And sure a righteous zeal inspired - The hand and head that penn’d and plann’d them, -For all who understood admired, - And some who did not understand them. - -He wrote, too, in a quiet way, - Small treatises, and smaller verses, -And sage remarks on chalk and clay, - And hints to noble Lords--and nurses; -True histories of last year’s ghost, - Lines to a ringlet or a turban, -And trifles for the Morning Post, - And nothings for Sylvanus Urban. - -He did not think all mischief fair, - Although he had a knack of joking; -He did not make himself a bear, - Although he had a taste for smoking; -And when religious sects ran mad, - He held, in spite of all his learning, -That if a man’s belief is bad, - It will not be improved by burning. - -[Illustration] - -And he was kind, and loved to sit - In the low hut or garnish’d cottage, -And praise the farmer’s homely wit, - And share the widow’s homelier pottage: -At his approach complaint grew mild; - And when his hand unbarr’d the shutter, -The clammy lips of fever smiled - The welcome which they could not utter. - -He always had a tale for me, - Of Julius Cæsar, or of Venus; -From him I learnt the rule of three, - Cat’s-cradle, leap-frog, and _Quæ genus_: -I used to singe his powder’d wig, - To steal the staff he put such trust in, -And make the puppy dance a jig, - When he began to quote Augustine. - -[Illustration] - -Alack the change! in vain I look - For haunts in which my boyhood trifled-- -The level lawn, the trickling brook, - The trees I climb’d, the beds I rifled: -The church is larger than before; - You reach it by a carriage entry; -It holds three hundred people more, - And pews are fitted up for gentry. - -Sit in the Vicar’s seat: you’ll hear - The doctrine of a gentle Johnian, -Whose hand is white, whose tone is clear, - Whose phrase is very Ciceronian. -Where is the old man laid?--look down, - And construe on the slab before you, -“_Hie jacet Gvlielmvs Brown,_ - _Vir nullâ non donandus lauru._” - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -ODE TO SOLITUDE. -BY ALEXANDER POPE. - - -[Illustration: H]APPY the man whose wish and care - A few paternal acres bound, -Content to breathe his native air - In his own ground. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, - Whose flocks supply him with attire, -Whose trees in summer yield him shade, - In winter fire. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -Blest, who can unconcern’dly find - Hours, days, and years slide soft away, -In health of body, peace of mind, - Quiet by day. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -Sound sleep by night; study and ease, - Together mixt; sweet recreation; -And Innocence, which most does please - With meditation. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, - Thus unlamented let me die, -Steal from the world, and not a stone - Tell where I lie. - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE MARRIED MAN. - - -[Illustration: O]NLY am the man, - Among all married men, -That do not wish the priest, - To be unlinked again. - -And though my shoe did wring, - I would not make my moan, -Nor think my neighbor’s chance - More happy than mine own. - -Yet court I not my wife, - But yield observance due, -Being neither fond, nor cross, - Nor jealous, nor untrue. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -TO MASTER ANTHONY STAFFORD. - -BY THOMAS RANDOLPH. - - -[Illustration: C]OME, spur away, - I have no patience for a longer stay, - But must go down, -And leave the chargeable noise of this great town; - I will the country see, - Where old simplicity, - Though hid in grey, - Doth look more gay -Than foppery in plush and scarlet clad. - Farewell, you city wits, that are - Almost at civil war; -’Tis time that I grow wise, when all the world grows mad. - - More of my days -I will not spend to gain an idiot’s praise; - Or to make sport -For some slight puisne of the Inns-of-Court. - -[Illustration] - - Then, worthy Stafford, say, - How shall we spend the day? - With what delights - Shorten the nights? -When from this tumult we are got secure, - Where mirth with all her freedom goes, - Yet shall no finger lose; -Where every word is thought, and every thought is pure. - -[Illustration] - - There from the tree -We’ll cherries pluck, and pick the strawberry; - And every day -Go see the wholesome country girls make hay, - Whose brown hath lovelier grace - Than any painted face, - That I do know - Hyde Park can show. -Where I had rather gain a kiss than meet - (Though some of them in greater state - Might court my love with plate) -The beauties of the Cheap, and wives of Lombard Street. - - But think upon -Some other pleasures: these to me are none. - Why do I prate -Of women, that are things against my fate? - I never mean to wed - That torture to my bed. - My muse is she - My love shall be. -Let clowns get wealth and heirs. When I am gone, - And the great bugbear, grisly death, - Shall take this idle breath, -If I a poem leave, that poem is my son. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - Of this no more; -We’ll rather taste the bright Pomona’s store. - No fruit shall ’scape -Our palates, from the damson to the grape. - Then (full) we’ll seek a shade, - And hear what music’s made; - How Philomel - Her tale doth tell, -And how the other birds do fill the quire: - The thrush and blackbird lend their throats, - Warbling melodious notes: -We will all sports enjoy which others but desire. - -[Illustration] - - Ours is the sky, -Where at what fowl we please our hawk shall fly: - Nor will we spare -To hunt the crafty fox or timorous hare; - But let our hounds run loose - In any ground they’ll choose; - The buck shall fall, - The stag, and all: -Our pleasures must from their own warrants be, - For to my muse, if not to me, - I’m sure all game is free: -Heaven, earth, are all but parts of her great royalty. - - And when we mean -To taste of Bacchus’ blessings now and then, - And drink by stealth -A cup or two to noble Barkley’s health, - I’ll take my pipe and try - The Phrygian melody; - Which he that hears - Lets through his ears -A madness to distemper all the brain. - Then I another pipe will take, - And Doric music make -To civilise with graver notes our wits again. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration: Epilogue] - - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: L]ET the dream pass, the fancy fade! -We clutch a shape, and hold a shade. -Is Peace _so_ peaceful?
