Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold:
Not all Apollo’s Pythian treasures hold,
Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway,
Can bribe the poor possession of a day.-


Forgetful youth! but know, the Power above
With ease can save each object of his love;
Wide as his will extends his boundless grace.-

There with commutual zeal we both had strove
In acts of dear benevolence and love:
Brothers in peace, not rivals in command.-


The leader, mingling with the vulgar host,
Is in the common mass of matter lost.-

For fate has wove the thread of life with pain,
And twins ev’n from the birth are misery and man!-

Just are the ways of Heaven: from Heaven proceed
The woes of man; Heaven doom’d the Greeks to bleed,—
A theme of future song!-

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. -
