If calm discretion’s steadfast hand,

With cautious skill the reins command,

From me fain health’s fresh mountain springs,

O’er me soft snugness spreads her wings:

And innocence reflects her ray

To gild my calm sequester’d way;

E’en kings might quit their state to share

Contentment and a one horse chair.—

What though, o’er yonder echoing street,

Your rapid wheels resound so sweet,
