Alexander Pope

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown,
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not read more

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown,
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

Our proper bliss depends on what we blame.

The strong antipathy of good to bad.

Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze,
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees.

Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze,
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees.

And soften'd sounds along the waters die:
Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play.
