Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul,
Is the best gift of Heaven: a happiness
That even above the smiles and frowns of fate
Exalts great Nature's favourites: a wealth
That ne'er encumbers, nor can be transferr'd.

How happy he whose toil
Has o'er his languid pow'rless limbs diffus'd
A pleasing lassitude; he not in vain
Invokes the gentle Deity of dreams.

In soft repose; on him the balmy dews
Of Sleep with double nutriment descend.

Without one fool or flatterer at your board,
Without one hour of sickness or disgust.

And give the hesitating wheels of life
Gliblier to play.
