Rh May placid age attend thy closing life,

Thy children standing round to grace a father's side!

Of fortune's ample stores possess'd,

And with fair reputation bless'd,

No higher let thy wishes rise,

Since all that mortals gain is thine,

Nor madly try to reach the skies,

Ambitious of a lot divine.
