Diffusing health and sober cheerfulness, 465

And giving to the moments as they pass

Their little boons of animating thought

That sweeten labour, make it seen and felt

To be no arbitrary weight imposed,

But a glad function natural to man. 470

Fair proof of this, newcomer though I be,

Already have I gained. The inward frame

Though slowly opening, opens every day

With process not unlike to that which cheers
