The speaker of a poem set in one of these places sought "the simple life that Nature yields", but "Rapine and Wrong and Fear usurped her place / And a bold, artful, surly, savage race." That poem set in one of these places states: "Where Plenty smilesÂ—alas! She smiles for few," and those who do not taste her "Are as the slaves that dig the golden ore." In one of these places, a man heard "The watch-dog's voice that bayed the whispering wind / And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind." That one of these places was declared to be "by luxury betrayed." Decades before writing "The (*) Borough," George Crabbe established his reputation with a poem titled for one of these places. Crabbe's poem was written in response to another poem about one of these, in which "trade's unfeeling train / Usurp the land and dispossess the swain." For 10 points, Sweet Auburn is what sort of place that has been "deserted" in an Oliver Goldsmith poem?
