Fragment LIV: Entire and perfect happiness fs never

Entire and perfect happiness fs never
Vouchsaf’d to man; but nobler minds endeavour
To keep their inward sorrows unreveal’d.
With meaner spirits nothing is conceal’d :
Weak, and unable to conform to fortune,
With rude rejoicing or complaint importune,
They vent their exultation or distress.
Whate’er betides us, grief or happiness,
The brave and wise will bear with steady mind,
Th’ allotment unforeseen and undefin’d
Of good or evil, which the gods bestow,
Promiscuously dealt to man below.
