Página 168 - Thrice, oh thrice happy, shepherd's life and state, When courts are happiness* unhappy pawns! His cottage low, and safely humble gate Shuts out proud Fortune, with her scorns and fawns : No feared treason breaks his quiet sleep : Singing all day, his Hocks he learns to keep ; Himself as innocent as are his simple sheep.
Página 169 - God can please. His bed of wool yields safe and quiet sleeps, While by his side his faithful spouse hath place ; His little son into his bosom creeps, . The lively picture of his father's...
Página 153 - By force of th' inward sun both shine and move ; Throned in her heart sits love's high majesty, — In highest majesty the highest love. As when a taper shines in glassy frame, The sparkling crystal burns in glittering flame, So does that brightest love brighten this lovely dame.
