Nor trace the turn of ev'ry tide;

If simple sense will not succeed

I make no bustling, but abide:

For shining wealth, or scaring woe,

I force no friend, I fear no foe.

Of ups and downs, of ins and outs,

Of the're i'th' wrong, and we're i'th' right,

I shun the rancours and the routs,

And wishing well to every wight,

Whatever turn the matter takes,
