I would not change my native landFor rich Peru with all her gold
Whatever brawls disturb the street, There should be peace at home.
To prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.
Learn good-humor, never to oppose without just reason; abate some degree of pride and moroseness.
What's amiss I'll strive to mend,And endure what can't be mended.
There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain.
