One scarce aware of all the joys I quit,

Too filled with airy hopes to make account

Of soft delights his own heart garners up:

Whereas behold how much our sense of all

That's beauteous proves alike! When Festus learns

That every common pleasure of the world

Affects me as himself; that I have just

As varied appetite for joy derived

From common things; a stake in life, in short,

Like his; a stake which rash pursuit of aims
