O, when I am safe in my sylvan home,
I mock at the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when I am stretch'd beneath the pines
When the evening star so holy shines,

At the Sophist's schools, and the learned clan;
For what are they all in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet?
It's special to me, a privilege being a role model. I take pride in being a good one.
