21.

Life's joys and pomp at distance should appear,
Possession brings the vulgar dawbing near.
Who can rejoice to tread a devious road,
Led by false views, and serpentine from God?
47

Would'st thou be vitally with Christ conjoin'd?
Copy his deeds, and imitate his mind
No man can worldly happiness ensure;
Heav'n's consolation all men may procure.
