As they might then be well assured for ever,
Spite of that wretch, in safety to persever.
SIR J. HARRINGTON.
CARE OF CHILDREN.
All as the painful ploughman plies his toil
With shear and coulter shearing through the soil,
That costs him dear and ditches it about,
Or crops his hedge to make it undersprout,
And never stays to ward it from the weed,
