O happy Swains, if their own good they knew! To whom just Earth, remote from cruel Wars, From her full Breasts soft Nourishment prepares. Although from high Roofs, through proud Arches, come No Floods of Clients early from each Room, Nor Marble Pillars seek, which bright Shells grace, Gold-woven Vestments, nor Corinthian Brass, Nor white Wool stain'd in the Assyrian Juyce, Nor simple Oyl corrupt with Cassias use: But rest secure, a fraudless Life, in peace, Variously rich, in their large Farms at ease. Tempe's cool Shades, dark Caves, & purling Streams, Lowings of Cattel, under Trees soft Dreams; Nor lack they Woods and Dens where wild Beasts haunt, Youth, in Toil patient, and inur'd to want; Their Gods and Parents sacred; Justice took Through those her last steps when she Earth forsook. Let the sweet Muses most of me approve, Whose Priest I am, struck with Almighty Love, &c.
