POEM OF ALEXANDER POPE







 Ode on Solitude

Happy the man, whose wish and care
   A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air,
                            In his own ground.
care/air, bound/ground

Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
   Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
                            In winter fire.
bread/shade, attire/fire.

Blest, who can unconcernedly find
   Hours, days, and years slide soft away,
In health of body, peace of mind,
                            Quiet by day,
find/mind, away/day

Sound sleep by night; study and ease,
   Together mixed; sweet recreation;
And innocence, which most does please,
                            With meditation.
ease/please, recreation/meditation

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
   Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
                            Tell where I lie.
unknown/stone, die/lie
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
attire: clothes/ unlamented - not cared for
 blest-lucky,
Paternal-related through father/
Maternal- related through mother. MATERNITY HOSPITAL:
