Den of death and dreams of field life echo in verse
A long fragmented verse laments urban disease and smoke while praising rural fields and animals. Interleaved are scattered anecdotes and jokes about preachers, humor, and colonial misers, ending with a cautionary tale of overreaching Tatnall and the rise of Winthrop and Farnsworth.
