"Nor aim at pleasures difficult to gain,
"Choose rather what you may with ease obtain.
"Who scorns to trifle, is by pride abus'd:
"I pity him who ne'er can be amus'd;
"But slighting pleasures moderate and small,
"Must live in rapture, or not live at all,
"Great pleasures still are near ally'd to pain:
"Who quits the peaceful shore, and ploughs the main,
"Big waves and mighty tempests must sustain.
