Disappointed.
I.
FRom Clime to Clime with restless Toyl we Roam,But sadly still our old Griefs we retain,And with us bear beyond the spacious MainThe same unquiet selves we brought from Home!Can Nature's plenteous BoardSpread wide from Pole to Pole,Sufficient Treats afford,To satisfie our craving Soul?Produce what Wealth the Sea contains,Or sleeps in Indian Veins,Th' insatiate Mind will gorge the Store,And call for more.
II.
The Food of Angels of immortal kind,Can only feast the Hunger of the Mind.

To those bright Seats let me aspire,Where solid Joys remain,So firm they can sustain,And stand the full Career of chast Desire.Th'Enjoyments we pursueSo hotly here below,Are charming Daphnes in the Chase,And (Daphne-like) transforming, fool us in th' Em∣brace!
