Classic Poem

In Prayse of a Cuntry Life

Who so Enjoyes the Cuntry Ayer
With Hounds in Couples, Frends a Payer
Or more, and seriously can looke
Sometimes into a Harmles Booke
Need not contemplat what the Barr
Molests, or stratagems of warr
Produce, nor on Ambitions winge
Seek to sore up to Court and Kinge
But with a Comp'tency Content
Pass All his Dayes in Merriment
Yet with such Care, Those let not in
Temptation or the least of Sin
But both to Body and the minde
Like Solaces appeer most kinde
Infeofing either with such Health
Is prisable above all wealth.
