More pleafing morfels would afford Than the fat olives of my fields ; Than fhards or mallows for the pot, That keep the loofen'd body found, To the juft guardian of my ground. That fit around his chearful hearth, And bodies spent in toil renew With wholesome food and country mirth. This Morecraft faid within himself, Refolv'd to leave, the wicked town: And live retir'd upon his own, He call'd his money in ; But the prevailing love of pelf, Soon fplit him on the former fhelf, He put it out again.
