"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything".
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

I was with Will right up to the last bit; some people are plain wicked!
I would probably agree with you Dave except for the phrase "exempt from public haunt".
Shakey is drawing a distinction between the courtly life of the rich or 'noble' and the pastoral.
I find it impossible to continue right now because I am listening to Milton's Paradise Lost and I can't hold Shakespeare and Milton in my head at the same time. Later...
As a wise child once said in repsonse to an exam question...
"Milton wrote 'paradise lost' - then his wife died and he wrote 'paradise regained'"
