Memorials Of A Tour On The Continent, 1820 - XX. - The Town Of Schwytz
By antique Fancy trimmed, though lowly, bred To dignity in thee, O Schwytz! are seen The genuine features of the golden mean; Equality by Prudence governed, Or jealous Nature ruling in her stead; And, therefore, art thou blest with peace, serene As that of the sweet fields and meadows green In unambitious compass round thee spread.
