His weakness pitied, and his once-good name

The means of his returning peace became.

He was assisted, to his shop withdrew, 160

Half let, half rented, and began anew

To smile on custom, that in part return’d,

With the small gains that he no longer spurn’d.

Warn’d by the past, he rises with the day,

And tries to sweep off sorrow.——Sweep away!
