O solitude, my sweetest choice: | |||
Places devoted to the night, | |||
Remote from tumult and from noise, | |||
How ye my restless thoughts delight! | |||
O solitude, my sweetest choice. | |||
O heav'ns, what content is mine | |||
To see these trees, which have appear'd | |||
From the nativity of time, | |||
And which all ages have rever'd, | |||
To look today as fresh and green | |||
As when their beauties first were seen. | |||
O, how agreeable a sight | |||
These hanging mountains do appear, | |||
Which th' unhappy would invite | |||
To finish all their sorrows here, | |||
When their hard fate makes them endure | |||
Such woes as only death can cure.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
O, how I solitude adore! | |||
That element of noblest wit, | |||
Where I have learnt Apollo's lore, | |||
Without the pains to study it. | |||
For thy sake I in love am grown | |||
With what thy fancy does pursue; | |||
But when I think upon my own, | |||
I hate it for that reason too, | |||
Because it needs must hinder me | |||
From seeing and from serving thee. | |||
O solitude, O how I solitude adore!}} | |||
