English text
Tho mean thy birth yet in thy humble cell
Did gentle peace and arts unpurchas'd dwell.
Well pleas'd Apollo thither led his train
And Music warbl'd in her sweetest strain,
Silenius so as fables tell and Jove
Came willing guests to poor Philomen's grove.
Let useless pomp behold and blush to find
So low a station and such a lib'ral mind.
