Of Health
Men rightly held, when yet the World was young,
That in the Sun a Charm of Health is hung.
One Strives for Health and cures his Body's Ills;
Another Mopes and gathers Doctors' Bills.
E ACH Heart should have a little Secret Bin,
But only Wholesome Things should lie therein.
T WO kinds of things that should not vex a Man,
Are Those he cannot help—and Those he can.
O H , numberless Mischances are the Share
Of him who is Too Lazy to Take Care!
