They only sleep, and eat, and drink,

They never meditate, nor think;

Or if they do, have not th' unhappy art

To vent the overflowings of their heart;

They without trouble live, without disorder die,

30Regardless of Eternity.

I said, I would like them be wise,

And not perplex myself in vain,

Nor bite th' uneasy chain,

No, no, said I, I will Philosophise!
