The next year I did better still, for I spaded up all the land which I required, about a third of an acre, and I learned from the experience of both years, not being in the least awed by many celebrated works on husbandry, Arthur Young (10) among the rest, that if one would live simply and eat only the crop which he raised, and raise no more than he ate, and not exchange it for an insufficient quantity of more luxurious and expensive things, he would need to cultivate only a few rods of ground, and that it would be cheaper to spade up that than to use oxen to plow it, and to select a fresh spot from time to time than to manure the old, and he could do all his necessary farm work as it were with his left hand at odd hours in the summer; and thus he would not be tied to an ox, or horse, or cow, or pig, as at present.

第二年，我就干得更好了，因为我把总需要量的全部土地统统种上了，只不过一英亩的三分之一，从这两年的经验中，我发现了我没有给那些农业巨著吓倒，包括亚瑟·扬的著作在内。我发现一个人如果要简单地生活，只吃他自己收获的粮食，而且并不耕种得超过他的需要，也不无餍足地交换更奢侈、更昂贵的物品，那末他只要耕几平方杆的地就够了：用铲子比用牛耕又便宜得多；每次可更换一块新地，以免给旧地不断地施肥，而一切农场上的必要劳动，只要他夏天有空闲的时候略略做一做就够了；这样他就不会像日前的人们那样去和一头牛，或马，或母牛，或猪猡，捆绑在一起。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。
