Читать книгу Exploits and Adventures of a Soldier Ashore and Afloat - William Llewellyn Adams - Страница 5
ОглавлениеWhere spades grow bright and idle swords grow dull,
Where jails are empty and where barns are full,
Where church paths are with frequent feet outworn,
Law court-yards empty, silent, and forlorn;
Where lawyers foot it and the farmers ride,
Where age abounds and youth is multiplied:
Where these signs are, they clearly indicate
A happy people and well-governed state.
