The Wish.
Hoc est summum mei, caputque voti;
A little house, a quiet wife,
Sufficient food to nourish life,
Most perfect health, and free from harm,
Convenient cloths to keep me warm.
The liberty of foot, and mind
And grace the ways of God to find.
This is the summe of my desire,
Until I come unto heavens quire.
