Author. A mere evasion!

Friend. And you spell so bad,
That what I read I could not understand.

Μωροσοφία OR WISDOM IN FOLLY

Tom Slothful talks, as slothful Tom beseems,
What he shall shortly gain and what be doing,
Then drops asleep, and so prolongs his dreams
And thus enjoys at once what half the world are wooing.
