I'd rather drink cold water from the brook
Than guam excitement from q golden chalice:
I'd rather sleep Oh straw In the shepherd hut
Than lie awake and rsstlsss In palace.
I'd rather earn dry bread in lusty health,
And eat II with = sense Of wholesome pleasure
Than feed without the zest of appetite
Oh gorgeous plate mid unsvaiiing treasure.
I'd rather have one true, unfailing friend,
Than fifty parasites 10 crave my bounty:
And one poor lass who love me for myself
Ahan one Without q heart whoowned a county.
Nature Il kind II our desires are pure
And srews rich blessings everywhere around us
While fortune, If We pant in her pursuit,
loo often grants her favors To confound US
Fresh air and sunshine, flowers and health An,
love,
These are endowments We learn TO priz,
them:
The wise man treasures, better worth than gold
And none but fools and wicked men despis,
them.
