如果人的判断是正确的，那么他的财富就很少;大自然是节俭的，她的需要很少;那少数的要求得到了回答，带来真诚的喜悦;愚人却为自己创造新的欲望:幻想和骄傲不惜大费周周之力，却不以理性和感性为乐。当贪吃或忘恩负义毁了我们坚实的快乐，在大自然的狭隘天地里，在幻想的浮华浮躁的王国里，那里只有梦，没有真正的快乐生长;就像猫被困在气泵里，为了生存，我们只能靠微薄的快乐来维持灵魂的活力。Lemira生病了;速速;医生来了，他来了;但他的病人呢? At the ball. The doctor stares; her woman curt'sies low, And cries, "My lady, sir, is always so: Diversions put her maladies to flight; True, she can't stand, but she can dance all night: I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June: And, though perhaps you'll think the practice bold, A midnight park is sovereign for a cold: With colics, breakfasts of green fruit agree; With indigestions, supper just at three." A strange alternative, replied Sir Hans, Must women have a doctor, or a dance? Though sick to death, abroad they safely roam, But droop and die, in perfect health, at home: For want--but not of health, are ladies ill; And tickets cure beyond the doctor's bill.
