A man among the Sons of Misery,

Tender, unarm'd, helpless, and quite forlorn,

E'er since 'twas my hard fortune to be born;

And when the space of a few weary days

Shall be expir'd, then must I go my ways.

Naked I shall return, and nothing have,

Nothing wherewith to bribe my hungry Grave.

Then what's the proudest Monarch's glittering robe,

10Or what's he, more than I, that rul'd the globe?
