Disappointed . I. FRom Clime to Clime with restless toyl we Roam , But sadly still our old Griefs we Retain , And with us bear ( tho we out-rove the Main ) The same disquiet selves we brought from Home ! Can Nature's plenteous Board Spread wide from Pole to Pole , Sufficient Cates afford To Satiate or Delude one Craving Soul ? Produce what wealth the Sea contains , Or sleeps deep lodg'd in Indian Veins , Th' Insatiate Mind will gorge the store And call for more . II . The Food of Angels of immortal kind , Alone can be design'd To Feast th'unbounded Appetite o'th' Mind . To those bright Seats let me aspire Where solid joys remain , So firm they can sustain , And stand the full Career of Chast Desire . Th'Enjoyments we pursue So hotly here below , Are Charming Daphnes in the Chase And ( Daphne-like ) Transforming , Fool us in th'Embrace !
