Poets Corner.
LINES WRITTEN FOR A DRUID'S CELL. Stay, passenger, and vie we a Druid's oell, Wliere neither gayeity nor pomp invites, Comfort with grandture doth not always dwell, But oft in humble cottages deljghtes, t boast no gyided walla, no paynted dome, These oakes and misletoe are deare tome, Mv furnjiure is wove in Nature's loom, My wealth is innocence and libertie. Come then, and muse within this calm retreat, (Forgetting what the world calls gay or fine ;) I envy not the splendonrc of tbe'great, Let Fortune be their boast—Content is mine' A DRUID.
