Hour after Hour in rueful Dulness sate,

Puzzled and teizing every Boy at Hand;

But, having all at last in his Command,

All that he needed, and of that possessed—

Who would, might think and labour for the rest.

Knowledge to win was useless when obtained,

As much as told him what he lost or gained;

If he had envied Newton, it had been

But for the Mint of Money he had seen. (D.)
