A Quiet Life Annotated

Let him who will, by force or fraud innate,
&nbsp Of courtly grandeurs gain the slippery height;
&nbsp I, leaving not the home of my delight,
&nbsp Far from the world and noise will meditate.
Then, without pomps or perils of the great,
&nbsp I shall behold the day succeed the night;
&nbsp Behold the alternate seasons take their flight,
&nbsp And in serene repose old age await.
And so, whenever Death shall come to close
&nbsp The happy moments that my days compose,
&nbsp I, full of years, shall die, obscure, alone!
How wretched is the man, with honors crowned,
&nbsp Who, having not the one thing needful found,
&nbsp Dies, known to all, but to himself unknown.
