MADAME DURET

Ah ! c'est charmant. .

wiLSON ( continue ).

In a moming up we rise, Ere Aurora's peeping , Drink a cup to -Wask our eyes, Leave the sluggard sleeping.

Then we go To and fro , With our knacks At our backs, To such streams As the ThameSy If we hâve the leisure.

Wen we please to walk abroad

For our recreatioti In the fields is our abode, Full of délectation.

Wbere in a brook Withakook, Or a lake Fisb we take , There we sit , For a bit.

Till we fish entangle.

We hâve gentles in a bom

We bave paste and Worms too, We can watcb botb nigbt and morn , Suiïer rain and storms too

None do hère >

Use to swear> Oaths do fray Fish SLwajy Whe sit still, ,. And watch our quill; Fi^ers must not wrangle.

If the sun's excessive beat Make .our bodies swelter^

BOURGEOIS. i5i

To an osier hedge we get For a firiendly shelter , Where in a (Hke Pearch or pike, Roach or dace, We do chase, Bleak or Gudgeon Without grudgîng, We are still contented.

Under a grun Willow, That défends us from a sgo^er, Making eart our pillow, *

Ware we may.

Before death

Hops our breath :
