How blest, supremely blest, the favoured Race

Who lived and feasted in that glorious place.

Where all were rich and splendid, fine and gay; }

They had no Wants to fear, no Cost to pay, }

But all day long were pleased and feasted every day. }

But what, he thought with fresh Surprise, are they

Whom even these with all their Pride obey;

Whoso greater Pleasures to themselves are known,

And who can call what they behold their own?

He had no Words such pleasures to express;
