Of a happy life.

WHo e'er woud live a happy life indeed, And wholly be from care & trouble freed, Must first stand well with God, & then with Man, Must have as little buceness as he can; Must care for nothing, that he cannot have, And nothing others can deprive him of. And above all must fly ambition, To be to great Men, or to Princes known. For who lives so, no Princes smile nor frown, Can either raise him up, or cast him down; And neither hopes to rise, nor fears to fall, Does live the best and happiest life of all.
