I am most difficult to find.

The sort of life for which I care

Is one combining Peace and Plenty

With laisser aller, laisser faire,

And dolce far niente.

(The heart of ev’ry Bridge-fiend jumps:

Dolce ... ’tis sweet to make “No Trumps.”)

I shrink from work in any shape,—

Too clearly do these pages show it,—

But work is what one can’t escape
