    Ah, yet, e'er I descend to th' grave,
    May I a small House and a large Garden have.
    And a few Friends, and many Books both true,
    Both wise, and both delightful too.
    And since Love ne'er will from me flee,
    A mistress moderately fair,
    And good as Guardian angels are,
    Only belov'd and loving me.
