Excerpt from Henry De Pomeroy, or the Eve of St. John, Vol. 1 of 3: A Legend of Cornwall and Devon Though sluggards deem it but a foolish chase, And marvel men should quit their easy chair, The toilsome way, and long, long league to trace, 0 there is sweetness in the mountain air, And life that bloated ease can never hope to share.
