 | The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Canning |  |
There are, to whom (their taste such pleasures cloy)
No light thy wisdom yields, thy wit no joy.
Peace to their heavy heads, and callous hearts,
Peace—such as sloth, as ignorance imparts!—
Pleased may they live to plan their Country's good,
And crop, with calm content, their flow'ry food!
No light thy wisdom yields, thy wit no joy.
Peace to their heavy heads, and callous hearts,
Peace—such as sloth, as ignorance imparts!—
Pleased may they live to plan their Country's good,
And crop, with calm content, their flow'ry food!
