Thus fly in the Almighty’s face,

And with his Providence make war!

I can go nowhere but I meet 5

With malcontents and mutineers,

As if in life was nothing sweet,

And we must blessings reap in tears.

O senseless man! that murmurs still

For happiness, and does not know, 10

Even though he might enjoy his will,

What he would have to make him so.
