Nature
On Hearing the Translation of Part of The Farmer's Boy into Latin Verse
From Rural Tales, Ballads, and Songs (1802)
Nature
Hey, Giles! in what new garb art dresst?
For Lads like you methinks a bold one;
I'm glad to see thee so caresst;
But, hark ye!--don't despise your old one.
Thou'rt not the first by many, a Boy
Who've found abroad good friends to own 'em;
Then, in such Coats have shown their joy,
E'en their own Fathers have not known 'em.
