Knew their own masters, and laborious hinds,
That had surviv'd the father, serv'd the son.

His patrimonial timber cast its leaf,
Sells the last scantling, and transfers the price
To some shrewd sharper ere it buds again. Estates are landscapes, gazed upon awhile,
Then advertised and auctioneer'd away. — William Cowper
