The Cares Of Today Are Seldom Those

Where Penury Is Felt The Thought Is Chain'd, And Sweet Colloquial Pleasures Are But Few.

Happy The Man Who Sees A God Employed In All The Good And Ills That Checker Life.

Admirals Extolled For Standing Still, Or Doing Nothing With A Deal Of Skill.

When All Within Is Peace How Nature Seems To Smile Delights That Never Cease The Live-long Day Beguile

They Love The Country, And None Else, Who Seek For Their Own Sake Its Silence And Its Shade. Delights Which Who Would Leave, That Has A Heart Susceptible Of Pity, Or A Mind Cultured And Capable Of Sober Thought.
