The Lame there too can Service give,

They all perform House Tasks at need.

Yea, even the Wind with panting Breath,

Comes in, the Hearth's low Fire to feed.

Each one must do his Part as bid,

No one can choose his Share or Deed.

Yet many deem them free, nor know

The Bond that binds them firm decreed.

But if thou humbly bear thy Bond,

It holds a Crown of Flowers in Seed.
