Frugal and careful James must wealthy be:

And, wealth in wedlock sought, he married soon,

And ruled his Lady from the honey-moon.

Nor shall we wonder; for, his house beside, }

He had a sturdy multitude to guide, 120}

Who now his spirit vex’d, and now his temper tried: }

Men who by labours live, and, day by day,

Work, weave, and spin their active lives away;

Like bees industrious, they for others strive,

With, now and then, some murmuring in the hive.
