ODE no HAPPINESS.


~ Happinefsi thou precious flow'r,
Whole leaves the ehoiceA fragrance pour,
I Whole fruit is all divine;
Where is Thy reideuce below
In what blea region dot thou grow,
And'what thy lovely fgn
Dot thou within the fplsndid dome
OF ilth forever keep thy home,
And bloom aud fourth there I
II 70, methinks thou Iov'it to be
With painful tears, anxiety,
And all corrodng care.
Or dof thou rather take delight
To climb aloft ambitions height,
To honor, pomp, and fare I
Whence far may fhoot thy brilliant rays,
Commanding unverfal prails,
Proud titles founding name.
Or fhall make true fefort,
And meet thee il fveet plealure's court,
(Eaid IN the lap OF cafe,
Where half the human race are found
Dancing in every giddy round
That can the fenies pleaie
Perhaps I more fuccefs may find
Where graceful beauty fits entwin'd,
With radiance from above
Where, TOO, proud infolence takes tiand,
Wah Others OF the naughty band,
And feryile dying lover
no, Happiness it cannot be-
So little they accord with thee,
Thou coul'lt net dwell with them
The court of life too different is
From honor, wealth, or feufIal blifs,
Or love, satyr's fame.
But thy calm, peaceful reidence,
4sin the vir;uous moral fcnfe,
And re6titude of mind
Thou may'it be found in any Rate,
The humble low, and idly great,
OR no W here by mankind.
Yet there's no certain tate.on earth
Can boat thy relidence.and birth,
Like that where kindred fouls
In wedlock's pleaGng bands unite,
And live content, in love, delight,
And peace, while nature rolls.
