Senec. Traged. Ex Thyeste Chor.2

 Translated.


Senec.
 Traged.
 ex Thyeste Chor.
2.

Stet quicunque volet potens
Aulae culmine lubrico &c.


Climb at Court for me that will
Tottering favors Pinacle;
All I seek is to lye still.

Settled in some secret Nest
In calm Leisure let me rest;
And far of the publick Stage
Pass away my silent Age.

Thus when without noise, unknown,
I have liv'd out all my span,
I shall dye, without a groan,
An old honest Country man.

Who expos'd to others Ey's,
Into his own Heart ne'r pry's,
Death to him's a Strange surprise
