LIFE OF TRANQUILLITY.
When happy in my rural scene, Whoso fountain chills tho shuddering swain, Such is my prayer—Let me possess My present wealth, or oven less, And if the bounteous gods design A longer life, that life he mine; Give me of books tho mental cheer, Of wealth sufficient for a year, Nor let me, lloal in Fortune's power, Dependent on tho future hour; To Jove for life and wealth I pray, These Jove may give, or take away, But for u firm and tranquil mind, That blessing in myself I find. j —Horw*.
