¶Liedtext

No glory I covet, no riches I want, Ambition is nothing to me; The one thing I beg of kind fortune to grant Is a mind independent and free. With passions unruffl'd, untainted with pride, By reason my life let me square; The wants of my nature are cheaply supplied, And the rest are but folly and care. How vainly, through infinite trouble and strife, The many their labours employ; Since all that is truly delightful in life Is what all, if they will, may enjoy.
