E CATALECTIS VETERUM POETARUM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A small well-gotten stock and country seat
Last Line: Live master of the time that I'm allow'd.
Subject(s): Contentment


A SMALL well-gotten stock and country seat
I have, yet my content makes both seem great.
My quiet soul to fears is not inur'd,
And from the sins of Idleness secur'd.
Others may seek the camp, others the town,
And fool themselves with pleasure or renown;
Let me, unminded in the common crowd,
Live master of the time that I'm allow'd.
