John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Laman Blanchard. (1803–1845)

    Sooth ’t were a pleasant life to lead,
  With nothing in the world to do
But just to blow a shepherd’s reed,
  The silent season thro’
And just to drive a flock to feed,—
  Sheep—quiet, fond and few!

Dolce far Niente. Stanza 1.

    Give me to live with Love alone
  And let the world go dine and dress;
For Love hath lowly haunts….
  If life’s a flower, I choose my own—
  ’T is “love in Idleness.”

Dolce far Niente. Stanza 4.
