A SON G.
AfY mind to me a kingdom is ;
Since perfeft joy therein I find,
As far exceeds ad eaithly blif,
That God or Nature hath affign’d ;
That much I want that mofl would have,
Yet dill niy mind forbid* to crave.
Content I live, this is my flay,
I feck, no more than may iutfice ;
I press to bear no haughty sway ;
Look, what I lack my inind fupplics,
Lo ! thus 1 triumph like a king,
Cont> l with that my mind doth bring.
I fee how plenty forfeits oft,
And hasty climbers foonell fall ;
t fee that Inch as fit aloft
Mifhap.doth threaten rr.oft of all;
Yhcie get with toil and ioie with fear r
Such cares my mind could never bear.
No princely pomp, nor wealthy store,
No force to win a victory,
No wily wit to salve a fore,
No shape to win a lover's eye ;
To none of these I yield as thrall,
For why ? my mind defpifeth all.
Some have too much, yet more they crave ;
I little have, yet seek no more ;
They are but poor, though much they have,
And I am rich with little {tore ;
They poor, I rich, they beg, I give ;
They leek, I lend, they pine, I live.
I laugh not at another’s lofi,
1 grudge not at another’s gain ;
l N worldly wave my mind cantofs :
I brook that is another’s bane,
I fear no foe, nor fawn no friend ;
I loath not life, nor dread mine end.
My wealth is health, and perfeft ease ;
My confeience clear, my chief defence :
I never leek my bribes to please,
Nor by desert to giveoifence;
Thus do 1 live, thus will I die;
Would all did so as well I !
!
1 take no joy in earthly bliss ;
I weigh notCroefus’ wealth a straw ;
For care, I care not what it is ;
I fear not Fortune’s fatal law,
My mind is such as mav not move
For beauty bright or force of love,
I wifb br!t what I have at will ;
I wander not to seek for more ;
I like the plain—l climb no hill :
In greatetl dorms i lit on shore,
And laugh at them that tori in vain
To get what mult be 101 l again.
t
I kiss not where I with to kill ;
I feign not love where moll I hate :
I break no Qeep to win my will ;
I wait not at the mighty’s gate ;
Ifcorn no poor, I fear no rich ;
I feel no want, nor have too much.
The court, ne cart, I like ne loath ;
Extremes are counted word of all ;
The golden mean betwixt them both
Doth surest fit, and fears no fall ;
This is my choice ? for why I find
No wealth is like a quiet mind.
