A Countrey life How sacred and how innocent A countrey life appeares. How free from tumult, discontent From flatterye and feares. This was the first and happiest life 5 When man enioyd himselfe Till pride exchanged peace for strife And happinesse for pelfe. 'Twas here the poets were inspired And sang their mysteries, 10 And while the listning world admired Hens minds did ciuilize. That golden age did entertaine No passion but of loue. The thoughts of ruling or of gaine 15 Did ne're their fancyes moue. None then did envy neighbours wealth Nor plott to wrong his bed, Happy in friendship and in health On rootes not beasts they fed. 20 They knew no law, nor phisique then Nature was all their witt 2 A] a appeares,] 'VA 540
And if there yet remaine to men Content, sure this is it. What blessing doth this world afford 25 To tempt or bribe desire. Her courtship is all fire and sword Who would not then retire. Then we11come dearest solitude, Hy great felicity 30 Though some are pleasd to call thee rude, Thou art not so, but we. Such as do couett only rest A cottage will suffice. It is not braue to be possest 35 Of Earth, but to despise. Opinion is the rate of things From hence our peace doth flow, I haue a better fate then Kings Because I thinke it so. 40 When all the stormy world doth roare How unconcernd am I? I can not feare to tumble lower That neuer would be high. Secure in these unenvyed walls 45 24 is it.] it. 541
