Engross the subtle ministers of life, 45
And spoil the lab’ring functions of their share.
Hence the lean gloom that Melancholy wears;
The Lover’s paleness; and the sallow hue
Of Envy, Jealousy; the meagre stare
Of sore Revenge: The canker’d body hence 50
Betrays each fretful motion of the mind.
The strong-built pedant; who both night and day
Feeds on the coarsest fare the schools bestow,
And crudely fattens at gross Burman’s stall;
