Be to my Foe no greater Curse assign’d!

Than a malignant Heart and envious Mind.

Thrice happy he! that’s with Good Nature blest,

Love of his Species rules his tender Breast;

Nor there confin’d: The Brute Creation share

His kind Beneficence and gen’rous Care.

No base malicious Thoughts his Peace annoy:

Are others happy? he partakes their Joy.

Chearful and innocent the Day he spends,

And Silver Sleep his quiet Nights attends.
