In things the same the greatest difference seen Is that perhaps betwixt the fat and lean: None know the steed his master rode in pride, In the poor jade that on the common died; And een the face of beautj, though it rise A bove decay in soul-revealing eyes Yet the pale cheek and lustre-lacking skin Betray the difference between plump and thin. But of all things, what chiefly loose their charms, As they grow poor and wasted, are our farms. How rich this earth in soil, how fair in face. When the Creator gave it to our race !H ow stored with game, how beautiful with birds. And all its ranges filled with various herds. The Indian arrow-heads we pick up here, How many more they slaughtered of fat deer Than all our boasted fire-arms! And so Corn crowned the labours of their wooden hoe With more abundance than our acres now Yield to the furrows of the iron plough.
