Ah! who, in this lazerhouse pent,

His lone wailings sends up to the skies?

'Tis the Man whose young prime was mispent;

'Tis he who so bitterly sighs.

2

His Youth, sunk in profligate waste,

Lest no Comforts Life's evening to cheer;

He must only it's bitterness taste,

No Friend, no kind relative near.

His Children by want forc'd to roam,
