EPIGRAM ON AGROPHILOS,
An ingenious Husbandman.
Fortunate Senex! ------
Virg.
Virg.
If there's a Man more happy than the rest,
Of Heav'n more favour'd, and more fully blest;
More worthy Praise, yet from the Lust more free,
More great unknown, Agriphilos is he:
Blest in his Fields, which plenteous Crops afford,
And blest his Fields, in having such a Lord:
Aglaus thus did Gyges wealth excel,
And thus did Adam live, before he fell.
