XXXV.

Perhaps from Horace: his "Nil admirari"
Was what he called the "Art of Happiness"—

An art on which the artists greatly vary,

And have not yet attained to much success.

However, 't is expedient to be wary:

Indifference, certes, don't produce distress;

And rash Enthusiasm in good society

Were nothing but a moral inebriety.
