The Discarded Son; Or, Haunt of the Banditti, Vol. 4 of 5: A Tale (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Discarded Son; Or, Haunt of the Banditti, Vol. 4 of 5: A Tale

"When Heaven and Earth, as if contending, vie
To raise his being, and serene his soul,
Can he forbear to join the general smile
Of Nature? - Can fierce passions vex his breast,
While every gale is peace, and every grove
Is melody? - Hence, from the bounteous walks
Of flowering Spring, ye sordid Sons of Earth,
Hard and unfeeling of another's woe,
Or only lavish to yourselves; away! Thomson.
