Which are the children of an idle brain,

Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,

Which is as thin of substance as the air.’

Therefore, as you may imagine, the dwellers in the land were little troubled by inroads of hostile nations; and they lived peaceful lives, managing their own affairs, and troubling little about the rest of the world.
