That I may read, and ride, and plant

from
In the Beginning of Robes Geography
by Matthew Prior

Great Mother, let me once be able
To have a garden, house, and stable ;
That I may read, and ride, and plant,
Superior to desire, or want;
And as health fails, and years increase,
Sit down, and think, and die in peace.
