  With more and greater evils than the first,
  Weak, sickly, full of pains: in ev'ry breath
  Railing at life, and yet afraid of death.

• The villager, born humbly and bred hard,
  Content his wealth, and poverty his guard,
  In action simply just, in conscience clear,
  By guilt untainted, undisturb'd by fear,
  His means but scanty, and his wants but few,
  Labor his business, and his pleasure too,
  Enjoys more comforts in a single hour
  Than ages give the wretch condemn'd to power.

  Charles Churchill
