Adieu, vain world, I've seen enough of thee,And now am careless what thou say'st of me.Thy smiles I court not, nor thy frowns I fear.My cares are past, my head lies quiet here.What faults you saw in me take care to shun,And look at home, enough there's to be done.Where ere I liv'd or dy'd it matters not,To whom related, or by whom begot,I was, now am not, ask no more of me.It's all I am and all the proud shall be.
