Contentment.
When man has cast off his ambitious greatness,
And sunk into the sweetness of himself,
Built his foundation upon honest thoughts,
Not great but good desires Ins daily servants,
How quietly he sleeps I How joyfully
He wakes again, and looks on his possessions,
And from his willing labours feeds with pleasure!
Beaumont and Fletcher.
