Hail mildly, pleasing solitude.
Companion of the wise and good,

The herds of fools and villains fly;

And listen to thy whispered talk,
Which innocence and truth imparts,
And meets the most obdurate hearts. [ Thomson ]

With grasp that causes some sensation. [ Mrs. Osgood ]

Meets all events alike. [ Mallet ]

Where health with exercise and freedom meets. [ Sir Walter Scott ]

But lives and loves in every place. [ Alfred Tennyson ]
