Certain Selected Odes Of Horace, Englished | ||
Georg. Fabricius.
These things true Happiness doe teach,At which well-minded Christians reach:
God rightly and thy selfe to knowe,
And what thou dost thy Neighbour owe;
A temperate Tongue, chaste Speech, Heart pure,
A cheerfull Giver's Hand to th'Poore,
A Life with small, and 's owne Content,
Vnstaind Faith, and Love permanent,
A Minde with good Success not drunk,
Nor with disastrous chances shrunk,
But which good Hope keeps, and makes bolde
His Saviour Christ still to beholde.
