The Village Ale-House. No more the Farmer's News, the Barbers Tale / No more, the Woodman's ballad shall prevail / No more the Smith his duskey brow shall clear / Relax his pond'rous strength, and lean to hear; / The Host himself, no longer shall be found / Carefull to see the mantling bliss go round: / Nor the coy Maid, half willing to be press'd, / Shall kiss the Cup, and pass it to the rest. Goldsmith
