Obscurèd life sets down a type of bliss:
A mind content both crown and kingdom is.

Farewell to Folly (1591)

I had as lief have their room as their company.

Farewell to Folly (1591)

Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content;
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent;
The poor estate scorns fortune's angry frown:
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.

Farewell to Folly (1591)
