This ignorant, besotted fool, sees but

In that beneficent gift, where all is formed

For happiness, a scene of punishment

And death; turns every joy to bitterness,

Reproaches God with never-ending fears,

And, like a thankless wretch, dashes aside

The cup of happiness the Almighty hand

Gives to his lips, when he might know his praise,

And gratitude can but be shown by free

And innocent enjoyment; not content
