Shakespeare did not write this. Prince John in Henry IV says "Health, peace and happiness to my royal father". It would appear that someone put the "sweet content" line on a Christmas card and then attributed it to Shakespeare because it sounded like something he might say. Shakespeare gets things attributed to him that he didn't write all the time.Another likely source is Robert Burns.O Scotia! my dear, my native soil!For whom my warmest wish to heaven is sent;Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toilBe blest with health, and peace, and sweet content.Robert Burns, The Cotter's Saturday Night (1786), Stanza 20.

Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) is not a Baroque opera; it is classified as a Classical opera, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1786. The work is based on a play by Pierre Beaumarchais and reflects the stylistic and thematic elements of the Classical period, emphasizing clarity, balance, and emotional expression. While it incorporates some earlier influences, its musical structure and dramatic elements align more closely with the ideals of the Classical era.
The Marriage of Fiago has in fact came out in 1786 in four different acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
In Vienna, Mozart composed several of his most famous operas, including "The Abduction from the Seraglio" (1782), "The Marriage of Figaro" (1786), "Don Giovanni" (1787), and "Così fan tutte" (1790). These works showcase his mastery of both music and drama, reflecting the social and cultural dynamics of the time. Each opera features intricate character development and innovative orchestration, solidifying Mozart's legacy in the operatic canon.
The "classical" period is the time of Haydn, Mozart and very early Beethoven/Schubert. Given that, the three most famous operas of that era all belong to Mozart. Two of them for sure are Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro. The third is debatable. Die Zauberflote?
