WE MAY BE POOR, BUT WE WILL BE HAPPY. 



Two gentle shepherds, and their sister wives, 

 With thee, Antlwxa, lead ambrosial lives: 

 Closed in a green recess, unenvied lot, 

 The blue smoke rises from their turf-built cot: 

 Bosomed in fragrance, blush their infant train, 

 Eye the warm sun, or drink the silver rain.

SENTIMENT. 



Joy for the present moment! joy to-day! 



Why look we to the morrow? 

 Mingle me bitters to drive cares away; 

 Nothing on earth can be forever gay, 



And free from sorrow. 



My purse is very slim, and very few 



The acres that I number; 

 But I am seldom stupid, never blue; 

 My riches are an honest heart and true, 

 And quiet slumber.
