95 Neither check'd by the rich nor the needy they roam,

For grey-headed Dan has a daughter at home;

Who will gladly repair all the damage that's done,

And three, were it ask'd, would be render'd for one.

Old Man! whom so oft I with pity have ey'd,

I love thee and love the sweet boy at thy side:

Long yet may'st thou live, for a teacher we see

That lifts up the veil of our nature in thee.
