Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Beattie, Blair, and Falconer: With Lives, Critical Dissertations, and Explanatory Notes And love, and gentleness, and joy impart. But these thou must renounce, if lust of wealth E'er win its way to thy corrupted heart For, ah! It poisons like a scorpion's dart; Prompting the ungenerous wish, the selfish scheme, The stem resolve, unmoved by pitys smart, The troublous day, and long distressful dream.
