As Wealth's increase, increaseth his desires.
O happy Man, whose portion is above,
Where Floods, where Flames, where Foes cannot bereave him!
Most wretched Man that fixéd hath his love
Upon this World, that surely will deceive him!
For what is Honor? what is Sovereignty,
Whereto men's hearts so restlessly aspire?
Whom have they crownéd with Felicity?
When did they ever satisfy desire?
The Ear of Man with hearing is not fill'd;
