The contented Prisoner his praise of Sack.
HOw happy's that PrisonerThat conquers his fates,With silence, and ne'reOn bad fortune complaines,But carelessely playesWith his Keyes on the Grates,And makes a sweet consortWith them and his chayns.He drowns care with Sack,When his thoughts are opprest,And makes his heart float,Like a Cork in his Breast.
