Has taught thy wings to seek yon friendly trees,

As erst by Indus' banks and far Ganges.

POVERTY
A FRAGMENT

If I am poor,

It is that I am proud;

If God has made me naked and a boor,

The poor man comes direct from heaven to earth,

As stars drop down the sky, and tropic beams;

The rich receives in our gross air his birth,
