O God methinks it were a happy life, To be no better than a homely swain To sit upon a hill, as I do now, To carve out dials, quaintly, point by point, Thereby to see the minutes how they run, How many make the hour full complete How many hours bring about the day How many days will finish up the year How many years a mortal man may live.

No more of courts, of triumphs, or of arms, No more of Valour's force, or Beauty's charms! The themes of vulgar lays with just disdain I leave unsung, the flocks, the amorous swain, The pleasures of the land, and terrors of the main. How abject, how inglorious 'tis to lie Grovelling in dust and darkness, when on high Empires immense, and rolling worlds of light, To range their heavenly scenes the muse invite! View quote
Richard Blackmore
My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills My father feeds his flocks; a frugal swain, Whose constant cares were to increase his store, And keep his only son, myself, at home. View quote

I guess it's true what they say, the third time's a charm I grabbed the game and let it die in my arms Then resurrected it Changed clothes, same flow, perfected it They know Swain though they still won't respect the kid But I ain't slowin' up This time, blowin' up Sponsors, concerts, everybody showin' up Know enough tricks of the trade to get a record deal: Fresh kicks, press kits, sex appeal Had to mail my demo out 'cause I ain't had enough bus pass To take the bus first class So frustrated, had to puff-puff-pass Sent my CD out to Puff, Puff passed Must've had enough trash on his desk this year Sent one to So So Def, but it fell on so so deaf ears I never once shed tears, this must be a test here.
