. The deserted village . s And,as a bird each fond endearment tries, _Xo tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride,And een his failings leaned to virtues side;But in his duty prompt at every call,He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all; And, as a bird each fond endearment tries,To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies,He tried each art, reproved each dull delay,Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.
