Στίχοι

I live, and yet methinks I do not breathe:
I thirst and drink I drink, and thirst again:
I sleep, and yet I dream I am awake:
I hope for that I have I have and want:
I sing and sigh I love and hate at once.
O tell me, restless soul: what uncouth jar
doth cause such want in store, in peace such war?
There is a jewel which no Indian mines
can buy, no chymic art can counterfeit.
It makes men rich in greatest poverty,
makes water wine, turns wooden cups to gold:
the homely whistle to sweet music's strain.
Seldom it comes, to few from Heaven sent
that much in little, all in nought: Content.
