By Heaven, it is a goodly sight to view This sylvan fete to rustic labour due, Where sits the aged patriarch of the soil, Presiding o'er the group that lent its toil, While on the board rich smoking joints abound, As makes the mantling jug its frequent round ; 54 And while the Founder drinks each workmans' health, Forgets not from their toil he draws his wealth. The cloth removed, and tables seen no more, Wives matrons children grace the new swept floor, And youthful mothers o'er their infants ...bend, As liberal hands on all their wants attend, While nut-brown damsels, and their lusty swains Brisk measure tread to music's lively strains ; And as some pleasing nymph glides through the dance, The favoured youth receives her timid glance, Her eyes revert, as instantly her cheek Displays in brighter tinge its ruddy streak ; Confused, awhile the bashful maiden stands, Till " hands across" again her step demands. 55 And while the dance the youthful pairs prolong, The talking grandsire sits behind the throng Beside his aged dame, who listening hears His tales, recounting deeds of former years, When in life's summer both elate could share Each rural pastime with the blithest pair ; When on the green, amid the sylvan rout, How oft they tired the village Orpheus out : Then with affection pure she smiling sees "The lisping grandson, climbing on her knees, Whilst memory whispers with a tear of joy, There climb'd his sire when such an artless boy.
