    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.

Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear
Can others teach their course to steer,
Yet run himself read more

Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear
Can others teach their course to steer,
Yet run himself life's mad career
Wild as the wave?
