| "Much I love |
| To see the fair one bind the straggling pink, |
| Cheer the sweet rose, the lupin, and the stock, |
| And lend a staff to the still gadding pea. |
| Ye fair, it well becomes you. Better thus |
| Cheat time away, than at the crowded rout, |
| Rustling in silk, in a small room, close-pent, |
| And heated e'en to fusion; made to breathe |
| A rank contagious air, and fret at whist, |
| Or sit aside to sneer and whisper scandal." |
| Village Curate, p. 74. |
