Mylo, forbear to call him blest,

That only boasts a large estate:

Should all the treasures of the west

Meet, and conspire to make him great,—

Should a broad stream with golden sands

Through all his meadows roll,—

He’s but a wretch, with all his lands,

That wears a narrow soul.

Were I so tall as reach the pole,

Or grasp the ocean with my span,
