It Is Better A Man Should Be

This Mournful Truth Is Everywhere Confessed, Slow Rises Worth By Poverty Depressed.

Life Protracted Is Protracted Woe.

In Misery's Darkest Cavern Known, His Useful Care Was Ever Nigh Where Hopeless Anguish Pour'd His Groan, And Lonely Want Retir'd To Die.

The Wise Man Applauds He Who He Thinks Most Virtuous; The Rest Of The World Applauds The Wealthy.

As Long As One Lives He Will Have Need Of Repentance.
