SWEET ARE THE THOUGHTS.

Sweet are the thoughts that sa»vor of content. The quiet mind is richer than a crown. „ Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spentThe poor estate scorns fortune'll * angry frowh. Such sweet content such minds, such sleep, such, bliss, Beggars enjoy when princes oft do miss! / The homely house that harbors quiet rest, The cottage that affords no , pride or care, The mean that ’grees with country music best, The sweet consort of mirth and music’s fare—, Obscured life sets down a type of bliss: A mind content both crown and kingdom is.

—Robert Greene.
