(O seely sheep the while!)

The corn is theirs, let others thresh,

Their hands they may not file.

They have great store and thrifty stocks,

Great friends and feeble foes;

What need them caren for their flocks,

Their boys can look to those.

These wisards welter in wealth's waves,

Pamper'd in pleasures deep;

They have fat kerns, and leany knaves,
