WRITTEN IN THE NOUVEAUX INTERETS by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: BLEST BE THE PRINCES, WHO HAVE FOUGHT
Last Line: THAT HAPPINESS IS BUT OPINION.
Subject(s): FIGHTS; HAPPINESS; NAMES; JOY; DELIGHT;
BLEST be the princes, who have fought
For pompous names, or wide dominion;
Since by their error we are taught,
That happiness is but opinion.
