The Muse's laurel, than a crown of gold.

The bloody wolf, the wolf does not pursue;
The boar, though fierce, his tusk will not embrue
In his own kind,
Bears, not on bears do prey:
Then art thou, man, more savage far than they.
Poems (1686)

Descended of no mortal strain:
Our bows and arrows are our goods,
Our palaces the lofty woods.

If you ask where such wights do dwell,
In what blest clime, that so excel,
The poets only that can tell.
