ODE ON SOLITUDE

Happy the man, whose wish and care - A few patemal acres bound, ́ Content to breathe his native air

In his own ground.

Whose Herds with milk, whose fields with bread,

Whose flocks supply him with attire:

Whose trees in summer yield him shade,.-

In winter, fire.

Blest, who can unconcern'dly find

Hours, days, and years, slide soft away

In health of body, peace of mind.

Quiet by day.

Sound sleep by night; study and case,

· Together mix'd; sweet recreation,

And innocence, which most does please

With meditation.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;

Thus unlamented let me die Steal from the world, and not a stone,

Tell where I be
