Elegy written in a country church-yard . XXX Far from the madding crowds ignoble striie,Their sober wishes never learnd to stray; Along the cool, sequesterd vale of life, They kept the noiseless tenour of their way. XX Yet een these bones from insult to protect,Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deckd,Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.
