more compleatly sure than we;
Since our harmless thoughts we dress
in a pure simplicity:
And chast nature doth dispense
here her Beauties Innocence.

And chast nature doth dispense

Envy is a stranger here.
blest Content our Bowls do Crown.
Let such Slaves themselves to Fear,
on whose Guilt the Iudge doth frown:
We from evil Actions are
Free as uncorrupted Air.

With the Turtles whisper Love,
with the Birds we practise Mirth;
With our harmlesse Kids we move,
and receive our food from Earth:
Nor do we disdain to be
Cloath'd with the Lambs Livery.
