Yet they have gaily laughed, good easy souls. Content to steer their skiff " midst sands and shoals," Nor envied those, who sail with favoring breeze In gilded barge o'er smooth, unruffled seas, Bearing their passport in their golden freight To place, to office, fashion, pomp and state. Yet there is good and ill, to cure or mar, Defies the rise or fall of fortune's star, — Sorrow and joy, deep-seated in the breast, By no known sign or outward show express'd, — A joy, with which a stranger medle...th not, — A bosom wo, that never is forgot, — The sun that gilds, the cloud that darkens life, — That joy a true, that woe a faithless wife. 13 Thus well or ill the voyagers have far'd, As they were fitly match'd, or only pair'd.* Some in their hearts first choice have been most blest? And, piliow'd on affection's faithful breast, Have early found in home the hallow'd rest And dwelling-place of all life has of best, — While others, in their union doubly curs'd, Have made the best of all life has of worst.
