FIFTH OLYMPIC ODE.
41
May placid age attend thy closing life, 50
Thy children standing round to grace a father's side! 53
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, 55
Nor madly try to reach the skies,
Ambitious of a lot divine. 57
