And still where many a garden flower grows wild,
There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose,

And passing rich with forty pounds a year;
Remote from town's he ran his godly race,
Nor e'er had chang'd nor wish'd to change his place;

By doctrines fashion'd to the varying hour;
Far other aims his heart had learn'd to prize.
