The Quiet Life
By Alexander Pope
Blest, who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days and years slide soft away
In health of body , peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mix'd sweet recreation
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation
这种人真可算是有福气,
能漫不经心看时光流逝;
身体既健康,心情又安谧,
白天里闲适,
黑夜里酣睡;研习和游憩
交叉在一起;愉快的消遣
纯真的本性,这伴着沉思
最使人心欢。
