THOUGHTS ON HAPPINESS
Fix'd to no spot is happiness sincere;
'Tis no where to be found, or ev'rywhere.
[attributed to] Pope.
. . . [5 lines of prose more about happiness]
Mankind, one day serene and free appear,
The next, they're cloudy, sullen and severe
New passions, new opinions still excite,
And what they like at noon, detest at night.
. . . [27 more lines of prose]
Her ev'ry charm, her form divinely fair,
Her easy motion, her attractive air,
Her sweet behaviour, her enchanting face,
Her moving softness, and majestic grace.
. . . [31 more lines]
