TE from scenes, where the o'erwearied mind Shrinks from the crimes and follies of mankind,
From hostile menace, and offensive boast,
Peace, and her train of home-born pleasures lost;
To fancy's reign, who would not gladly turn,

I am the handmaid of the earth,
I broider fair her glorious gown,
And deck her on her days of
With many a garland of renown
