Unfoster’d sickens in the barren shade? 170

No worthy man, by fortune’s random blows,

Or by a heart too generous and humane,

Constrain’d to leave his happy natal seat,

And sigh for wants more bitter than his own?

Without one fool or flatterer at your board,

Without one hour of sickness or disgust.

But other ills th’ ambiguous feast pursue,
