RETIREMENT. 
Is happiness the grand pursuit,
The grasping aim of anxious man?
Who (rational and observing)
Thinks it lies in noisey city.
Or in the din of thronging courts? 
Strange the delusion and mistake!
View with attention, only view, 
The man retir'd to rural life,
And see with what propriety.
. . . [36 more lines] [signed] Corydon.
