This glee gained a Catch Club prize medal in 1786.
Lyrics: Anon
The fairest flowers the vale prefer,
And shed ambrosial sweetness there;
While the tall pine and mountain oak
Oft feel the tempest's ruder stroke.
So, in the lowly moss-grown seat,
Dear peace and quiet dwell:
The storms that wreck the rich and great
Fly o'er the shepherd's cell.
The fairest flowers the vale prefer,
And shed ambrosial sweetness there;
While the tall pine and mountain oak
Oft feel the tempest's ruder stroke.
So, in the lowly moss-grown seat,
Dear peace and quiet dwell:
The storms that wreck the rich and great
Fly o'er the shepherd's cell.
