ABSTRACT
Windsor-Forest ends with a vision of ‘Albion’s Golden Days’, a new era of peace and prosperity. In the Epistle to Burlington, too, peace will bring both architectural and agricultural blessings to a happy Britain, when such absurdities as Timon’s Villa and gardens are no more: Another age shall see the golden Ear Imbrown the Slope, and nod on the Parterre, Deep Harvests bury all his pride has plann’d, And laughing Ceres re-assume the land.
