The things that makes a life to please
(Sweetest Martiall ) they are these:
Estate inherited , not got :
A thankfull Field, Hearth always hot:
City seldome , Law-suits never :
Equall Friends agreeing ever :
Health of Body, Peace of Minde ;
Sleepes that till the Morning binde:
Wise Simplicitie, Plaine Fare:
Not drunken Nights, yet loos'd from Care :
A Sober , not a sullen Spouse:
Cleane strength , not such as his that Plowes:
Wish onely what thou art , to bee ;
Death neither wish , nor feare to see .
