But there is hope that from these founts may flow
A sideway stream, and equal good bestow—
Good that may reach us, whom the day's distress
Keeps from the fame and perils of the press;
Whom study beckons from the ills of life,
And they from study—melancholy strife!
Who then can say but bounty now so free,
And so diffused, may find its way to me?
Yes! I may see my decent table yet
