What do you think this poem is about?

A QUIET LIFE

It is evident
Men of noble birth
Have always crave for
The quieter life

Where they need not
The meddle of a woman,
The howling of winds
And the mean of sun ray.

That fishes desert
The good nature
Of the earth
For the depth of the sea

Hence they lead a life of ease,
Full like vine
Gently and quietly tending
To things within their reach

And not besiege with greed
Nor the burden of needs
As would a lesser man

But with regal grace;
Living at ease
A life
Which both man & nature envy…
