Pàgina 212 - OTHERS may with regret complain That 'tis not fair Astrea's reign, That the famed golden age is o'er That Saturn, Rhea rule no more : Or, to speak in another style, That Eden's groves no longer smile. For my part, I thank Nature sage, That she has placed me in this age: Religionists may rail in vain ; I own, I like this age profane ; I love the pleasures of a court ; I love the arts of every sort ; Magnificence, fine buildings, strike me ; In this, each man of sense is like me.
