Merry Wives of Windsor.

34. You hate the gold and silver which persuade

Weak men to follow far-fatiguing trade;

Who madly think the flowery mountain's side,

The fountain's murmur, and the valley's pride,

The river's flow, less pleasing to behold

Than dreary deserts, if they lead to gold.

Collins—Eclogues.

35. To climb life's worn and heavy wheel,

Which draws up nothing new.
