    Will fortune never come with both hands full,
    But write her fair words still in foulest letters?
    She either gives a stomach and no food--
    Such are the poor, in health--or else a feast
    And takes away the stomach-- such are the rich,
    That have abundance, and enjoy it not.

Whispers the o'erfraught heart, and bids it break.
