And to his grave I do believe he'll go,

Sad dog's-meat dog, nor ever know

Whence all those riches flow

Which seem to spring about him where he is,

Finding their way to every mouth but his.—

I know such similes

By some are censured as not being savoury;

But still it's better than to talk of "knavery,"

And "wretched authors' slavery,"

With other words of ominous import.
