Citation | BG.751.023 19 Nov 1751:11 (1653) From a late magazine. An Epistle to a friend, grown old and rich in trade, which he cannot be perswaded to resign. He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver; Nor he that loveth abundance, with increase. Eccl.v.19. Why still so craving quit the painful strife, More than tho' thou hast, for private life; In vain heav'n gives, if still thy wishes roll, Come, let me tap this dropsy of the soul! . . . [53 more lines] Whitney, March 14. Crito. |
