"Fair Quiet, have I found thee here,
And Innocence, thy sister dear!
Mistaken long, I sought you then
In busy companies of men :
Your sacred plants, if here below,
Only among the plants will grow ;
Society is all but rude,
To this delicious solitude."
And Innocence, thy sister dear!
Mistaken long, I sought you then

Only among the plants will grow ;

To this delicious solitude."
