Acknowledgement:Reproduced from the Original composed by SIR WOTTON.One of the few poems of poets of yester years that made a deep impression on me.
Blessed Is He In Thought And Action
Who Covetheth Not Another's Will
Whose Armour Is His Honest Traction
And Speaking Truth His Valued Skill.
Whose Passions Not His Masters are
Whose Mind Is Tuned To Self Within
Who Hath His Life From Rumours Freed
Whose Conscience Is His Strong Retreat.
Who Doth Pray To God Everyday
More For HIS Grace Than Gifts To Send
Who Spends His Time In A Harmless Way
With a Well Chosen Book Or Friend.
Such Man Is Free From Servile Bonds
Of Hope To Rise Or Fear To Fall
Lord Of Himself Though Not Of Lands
Having Nothing Yet Hath All.
