“Welcome! yes! let me welcome, if I can,

The fortune dealt me by this cruel man:

Welcome this low-thatch’d roof, this shatter’d door,

These walls of clay, this miserable floor;

Welcome my envied neighbours; this to you

Is all familiar - all to me is new:

You have no hatred to the loathsome meal,

Your firmer nerves no trembling terrors feel,

Nor, what you must expose, desire you to conceal;

What your coarse feelings bear without offence,
