The quarter-day does ne'er affright Our peaceful slumbers in the night ; We eat our own, and batten more Because we feed on no man's score ; But pity those whose flanks grow great Swell'd with the lard of others' meat. We bless our fortunes when we see Our own beloved privacy ; And like our living, where w'are known To very few, or else to none. 556. ON HIMSELF. Some parts may perish, die thou canst not all The most of thee shall scape the funeral. 577. THE APPARITION OF HIS MISTRESS CALLING HI...M TO ELYSIUM. Desunt nonmdla Come then, and like two doves with silv'ry wings, Let our souls fly to th' shades, where ever springs HESPERIDES. 95 Sit smiling in the meads ; where balm and oil, Roses and cassia, crown the untill'd soil ; Where no disease reigns, or infection comes 5 To blast the air, but amber-greece and gums. This, that, and ev'ry thicket doth transpire More sweet than storax from the hallowed fire ; Where ev'ry tree a wealthy issue bears Of fragrant apples, blushing plums, or pears, 10 And all the shrubs, with sparkling spangles, shew Like morning sunshine, tinselling the dew.
