The glitt'ring stores Ambition claims

To feed the wants his fancy frames;

But now 'tis past—the changing day

Has snatched my high-built hopes away,

And bade this wish my labors close—

Give me not riches, but repose.

'Tis he—that mien my friend declares,

That stature, like the lance he bears;

I see that breast which ne'er contained

A thought by fear or folly stained,
