The longer quote is: O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint,Agricolas, quibus ipsa, procul discordibus armis,Fundit humo facilem victum justissima tellus! Which has been translated as "O happy, happy husbandmen, did they but know the blessings they possess, for whom, far from the din of war, the kindly earth pours forth an easy sustenance." The first line of the longer quote appears in Henry Lee III's funeral oration for George Washington (The Father of His Country). (en)
