Retirement.
Oh! when shall I a Country Life enjoy,
And with old Authors my calm Hours employ,
Blest with sweet Leisure, blest with downy Peace,
And my whole Business to consult my Ease!
When, when shall I, compleatly happy, there,
Delightfully forget my former Days of Care!—

Blest with sweet Leisure, blest with downy Peace,
And my whole Business to consult my Ease!
When, when shall I, compleatly happy, there,
Delightfully forget my former Days of Care!—
