To teach the young idea how to shoot.
An elegant sufficiency, content,
Retirement

Ease and alternate labour, useful life,
Progressive virtue, and approving Heaven!
The meek-ey’a Morn appears, mother of dews.
Falsely luxurious, will not man awake ?
But yonder comes the powerful king of day,
Rejoicing in the east.

A pleasing land of drowsyhed it was,
Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;
And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,
Forever flushing round a summer sky:
There eke the soft delights that witchingly
Instil a wanton sweetness through the breast,
And the calm pleasures always hover'd nigh;
But whate'er smack'd of noyance or unrest
Was far, far off expell’d from this delicious nest.

But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,
And heightens ease with grace.

A little round, fat, oily man of God.
I care not, Fortune, what you me deny:
You cannot rob me of free Nature's grace,
You cannot shut the windows of the sky
Through which Aurora shows her brightening face;
You cannot bar my constant feet to trace
The woods and lawns, by living stream, at eve:
Let health my nerves and finer fibres brace,
And I their toys to the great children leave :
Of fancy, reason, virtue, naught can me bereave.

Canto ii. Stanza & Song

Health is the vital principle of bliss,
And exercise, of health.

Forever, Fortune, wilt thou prove
An unrelenting foe to love;
And when we meet a mutual heart,
Come in between and bid us part ?

Whoe'er amidst the sons Of reason, valour, liberty, and virtue Displays distinguish'd merit, is a noble Of Nature's own creating.

Live while you live, the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures of the present day ;
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give to God each moment as it flies.
Lord, in my views, let both united be:
I live in pleasure when I live to thee.
