He, getting much, to angry thoughts gave way,
For the poor pittance that he had to pay, 220
With Patty’s larger claim. Save these alone,
The weeping heir beheld the whole his own;
Yet something painful in his mind would dwell—
It was not likely, but was possible—”
No—Fortune lately was to James so kind,
He was determined not to think her blind:
She saw his merit, and would never throw
His prospects down by such malicious blow.”
