- | |
But happy you from the contagion free | A |
Who through her veil can human nature see | A |
Calm you reflect amid the frantic scene | B |
On the low views of those mistaken men | C |
Who lose the short invaluable hour | D |
Through dirt pursuing schemes of distant pow'r | E |
Whose best enjoyments never pay the chase | F |
But melt like snow within a warm embrace | F |
Believe me friend for such indeed are you | G |
Dear to my heart and to my int'rest true | G |
Too much already have you thrown away | H |
Too long sustain'd the labor of the day | H |
Enjoy the remnant of declining light | I |
Nor wait for rest till overwhelm'd in night | I |
By present pleasure balance pain you've past | J |
Forget all systems and indulge your taste | K |
