James McIntyre - Irish Poets: Oliver Goldsmith
Work rating: Low

Goldsmith wrote Deserted Village, 
     Now again reduced to tillage; 
     Once happiest village of the plain, 
     Place now you look for it in vain; 
     There but one man he doth make rich, 
     And hundreds struggle in the ditch; 

     "Ill fare the land to many ills a prey
     Where wealth accumelates but men decay." 
     His honest Vicar of Wakefield
 Forever he will pleasure yield.
