Yes, ye may fill your garners, ye that reap The loaded soil, and ye may waste much good In senseless riot; but ye will not find In feast or in the chase, in song or dance, A liberty like his, who, unimpeached Of usurpation, and to no man’s wrong, Appropriates nature as his Father’s work, And has a richer use of yours than you.

— COWPER, The Task, Book VI.
