"A collection of new glees composed by John Sale..." London, c.1800.
Lyrics: Metastasio (trans. Charles Burney)
Sometimes a happy rustic swain,
In cottage born, of humble stem,
Acquires with little toil and pain,
Thro' fortune's smiles, a diadem.
While he that's blasted by her frown,
To dire mischance is sure decreed;
And tho' entitled to a crown,
A field may till, a flock may feed.
Sometimes a happy rustic swain,
In cottage born, of humble stem,
Acquires with little toil and pain,
Thro' fortune's smiles, a diadem.
While he that's blasted by her frown,
To dire mischance is sure decreed;
And tho' entitled to a crown,
A field may till, a flock may feed.
