First Line: More discontents I never had
Last Line: Then where I loath'd so much.
Subject(s): Devonshire, England; Discontent; Dissatisfaction
More discontents I never had
Since I was born, then here;
Where I have been, and still am sad,
In this dull Devon-shire:
Yet justly too I must confesse;
I ne'r invented such
Ennobled numbers for the Presse,
Then where I loath'd so much.
