"But is it sure that study will repay

The more attentive and forbearing?"—Nay!

The farm, the ship, the humble shop have each

Gains which severest studies seldom reach.

At college place a youth, who means to raise

His state by merit and his name by praise;

Still much he hazards; there is serious strife

In the contentions of a scholar's life.
