"A Prayer"

O Lord,
Grant me a long life, and a good one,
A quick death, and an easy one.
Grant me good food, and good drink,
Good friends, and greater loves.
Grant me great passions and thoughts,
Good music and poetry,
Grant me fine words and letters,
Warm places to sleep,
Safe places to recline,
Good deeds to perform,
And enough problems to keep it interesting,
And I shall ask for nothing else.
