"There was a shepherd that did live, And held his thoughts as high As were the mounts whereon his flocks Did hourly feed him by." What should we think of the shepherd's life if his flocks always wandered to higher pastures than his thoughts? Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.
You had better give the horses a feed that is, if they are disposed to eat at this hour while I am away." On reaching the camp, Chris found all the troops under arms.

If he had ever dreaded getting out of all his provisions, he saw now that the fear was an unfounded one. Here, before his eyes, and close beside his dwelling-place, there extended a broad field full of food.
