Village smithy stands.
Inc smith, fordly man Is he. with vast
and fertile lands
No more his brawny back he bends he
meath the horse's weight:
NO more his ringing sledge he swings IN
giant strength eiate
no more his face is covered DER with
blazing forges smut
NOR beaded with his honest sweat, its
channels there to cut.
Adown the street he sits at ease before
the wayside inn.
And jingles IN his broadcloth pants his

For wise was he within his day and seized
the chance that came,
by charging fourteen prices when the
