    He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back,
    And says he called another; that arrives,
    Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;
    Till one calls him, who varies not his call,
    But holds him fast, in chains of darkness bound,
    Till Nature dies, and judgment sets him free;
    A freedom far less welcome than this chain.

Of all complexions the culled sovereignty
Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek,

Where nothing wants that want itself doth seek.

I've often wished that I had clear,
For life, six hundred pounds a year,
A handsome house to lodge a friend,
A river at my garden's end,
A terrace walk, and half a rood
Of land, set out to plant a wood.
