I Wlien zephyrs o'er the blossoms stray, And sweets along the air convey, Shan't I the fragrant breeze inhale, Because you breathe a sweeter gale? Sweet are the flow'rs that deck the field, Sweet is the smell the blossoms yield ; Sweet is the summer gale that blows, And sweet (though sweeter you) the rose. Shall envy then torment your breast, If you are lovelier than the rest ? For while I give to each her due, By praising them I flatter you; 45 Aiid praising most, I still declare You fairest, ...where the rest are fail-. As at his board a farmer sate, Replenish'd by his homely treat, His fav'rite spaniel near him stood, And with his master shar'd the food ; The crackhng bones his jaws devour'd, His lapping tongue the trenchers scoiu'd; Till, sated now, supine he lay, And snor'd the rishig fumes away. The hungry cat, in turn, drew near, And humbly crav'd a servant's share ; Her modest worth the master knew, And straight the fatt'ning morsel threw; Enrag'd, the snarhng cur awoke, And thus, with spiteful envy, spoke: They only claim a right to eat, Who earn by services their meat; Me, zeal and industiy inflame, To scour the fields, and spring the game : 46 Or, plunged in the wat'ry wave, For man the wounded bird to save.
