Who gives the price and only feels the joy:
Example dire! the youthful miser stops,
280
And slowly back the treasured coinage drops.
Heroic deed! for should he now comply,
Can he to-morrow's appetite deny?
Beside, these spendthrifts who so friendly live,
Cloy'd with their purchase, will a portion give.—
Here ends debate, he buttons up his store,
And feels the comfort that it burns no more,
