Receding slowly, till they find repose.
Complaints and murmurs then are laid aside,
(By reason these subdued, and those by pride;)
And, taught by care, the patient man and wife
Agree to share the bitter-sweet of life;
(Life that has sorrow much and sorrow's cure,
480
Where they who most enjoy shall much endure;)
Their rest, their labours, duties, sufferings, prayers,
Compose the soul, and fit it for its cares;
