Renounce the civilized abodes of man, With kindred brutes one common shelter seek In horrid wilds, and dens, and dreary caves, And with their shaggy tenants share the spoil; Or if the savage hunters miss their prey, From scattered acorns pick a scanty meal ; — Far from the sweet civilities of life ; There let him live, and vaunt his wretched freedom ; While we, obedient to the laws that guard us, Guard them, and live or die,...
