by Axel Gabriel Silverstolpe (1762 - 1816)

Sällheten
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Menar du min bror, at den är säll,
Som i sin hand hvälfver hundra Rikens öden?
Somnar han i lugn hvar enda qväll?
Och drömmer han ej upror eller döden.
Nej, I Potentater uti alla stater!
Af Er magt och ära jäfvas ej min lära:
Säll är den som har en full Pocal,
Och notabene förmågan at den tömma!
Med dess ångor flygta lifvets qval,
Och i dess droppar lifvets nöjen strömma.
