To sports, which only childhood could excuse.

Cowper.

Many there are who wear the cap and bells,

And tread the maze of folly;

And some who dwell apart in hermit cells

With moping melancholy.

Many there are who toil, and moil, and scrape,

For gold they cannot keep;

And many who from toil and care escape,

Wrapped in a drunken sleep.
