in . Content , the good , tlie golden mean , The safe estate that sits between The sordid poqr ^ d miseraMy
In vain we w ^ He , midst his Ihpusandkin ^ That for another crowii does weep ; ' ^
¦ IV ¦ Hence—titles , manors , and estate ! Content alone can make us great ; Content is riches , honour---all beside .
While the French hero , w ^ A single empire does disdain , W ^ Gn ^ A happier man , and mightier i ^
I beg , good Heaven , with just desires , What need , not Iuxury v requires ; Give me with sparing hands ,
A little honour , and enough of health ; Life from the busy city free , ISTear shady groves and purling streams confined ; A faithful friend , a pleasing she , And give me all in one—give a contented mind .
VI . Tell me no more of glorious things , Of crowns , of palaces , and kings ; The glittering folly nobly I contemn ,
And scorn the trouble of a diadem . Thus Horace for his Sabine seat , Did mighty Caesar ' s shining court refuse ; And in himself , completely great , Contentedly enjoyed a mistress and a muse .
