Dullness

Alexander Pope, "On Dullness," lines 1-6, in The Oxford Book of Short Poems (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987), p. 94:
Thus Dullness, the safe opiate of the mind,
The last kind refuge weary Wit can find,
Fit for all stations, and in each content,
Is satisfied, secure, and innocent.
No pains it takes, and no offence it gives:
Unfeared, unhated, undisturbed it lives.
