. . . [2 lines introduction]
A POEM ON THE WORLD. 
The world's a perfect cheat--And all in it that seems so
great; A lie!
Its honours are but breath; At furthest, at our death they
die. 
Its pleasures are a dream--And are of no esteem when past.
And all these empty riches--which worldlings so bewitches,
then flee away as fast.
