Language: English 
In vain would fortune with tempestuous blast,
The present pile of happiness destroy.
Lock'd in the sacred treasures of the past,
What I have once possess'd I still enjoy.

Composition:

    Set to music by Samuel Webbe (1740 - 1815), "In vain would fortune" [ chorus a cappella ], glee
