His principal work is a poem, entitled The Farmer's Boy , which pleasantly depicts the scenes of his own early life, and displays considerable genius. He wrote several other effusions, but his first was the best. "The Farmer's Boy" obtained very great popularity, and was translated into French and Italian. Although patronized by Capel Lofft and the Duke of Grafton, the latter years of the modest poet were embittered by want, ill-health, and consequent dejection.
