Excerpt from Literary Hours, or Sketches, Critical, Narrative and Poetical, Vol. 3
Literary Hours.
No. XLIV.
Agricola incurvo terram dimovit aratro:
Hinc anni labor, hinc patriam, parvosque nepotes
Sustinet; hinc armenta boum meritosque juvencos. -
Ipse dies agitat festos; fususque per herbam,
Ignis ubi in medio, et socii cratera coronant,
Te libans, Lenaee, vocat.
Virgilius.
The peasant yearly plows his native soil;
The lands that blest his fathers bound his toil,
Sustain his herd, his country's wealth increase,
And see his children's children sport in peace. -
He too, at times, where flames the rustic shrine,
And, rang'd around, his gay compeers recline,
In grateful leisure on some festive day
Stretch'd on the turf delights his limbs to lay,
To loose from care his disencumber'd soul,
And hail thee, Bacchus! o'er the circling bowl.
Sotheby.
Had Herrick adopted any arrangement or classification for his poetry, it would probably have experienced a kinder fate.
