Wasted my wordy wealth, spilt my rich wine,

Made my square ship within a league of shore,

Alas! to be entombed in seas and seen no more.


THE POOR OF LONDON.

Almighty God, whose Justice, like a sun

Shall coruscate along the floors of heaven:

Raising what’s low, perfecting what’s undone,

Breaking the proud, and making odd things even.
