Henry Howard Quotes
41. The Means To Attain Happy Life
MARTIAL, The Things That Do Attain
The Happy Life Be These, I Find:
The Richesse Left, Not Got With Pain;
The Fruitful Ground, The Quiet Mind:
The Equal Friend; No Grudge, No Strife;
No Charge Of Rule, Nor Governance;
Without Disease, The Healthful Life;
The Household Of Continuance:
The Mean Diet, No Delicate Fare;
True Wisdom Join'd With Simpleness;
The Night Discharged Of All Care,
Where Wine The Wit May Not Oppress.
The Faithful Wife, Without Debate;
Such Sleeps As May Beguile The Night;
Contented With Thine Own Estate
Ne Wish For Death, Ne Fear His Might.
