Happy the man, of mortals happiest he,
Whose quiet mind from vain desires is free;
Whom neither read more

Whom neither hopes deceive, nor fears torment,
But lives at peace, within himself content;
In thought, or act, accountable to none
But to himself, and to the gods alone.

Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how read more

Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engend'red in the eyes,
With gazing fed, and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.

In cheerful labour while each day she spends!

In cheerful labour while each day she spends!
She gratefully receives what Heav'n has sent,
And, rich in poverty, enjoys content.
