From a late magazine.  An epistle to a friend, grown old and
rich in trade, which he cannot be persuaded 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 eno' thou hast for private life;
In vain heav'n gives, if still thy wishes roll,
Come, let me tap this dropsy of the soul!
