Take the right course, by nature blind.

Th’ ambitious man directs his way

Thro’ title, honours, night and day:

The miser hovers o’er his gold,

With heaps on heaps, each farthing told:

But sooner or later they’ll perceive,

These trifling things the mind bereave

Of ev’ry solid, dear delight,

The soul o’erspread with gloom of night;

That envied titles, honours, fame,
