Imitation of part of the 4th
Epistle of Pope's Essay
on Man.
OWEALTH!0 WEALTH! sole wish and aim of
every heart !
In gold,in goods, in lands, where'er thou
art :
That magic boon, which yields eternal
care,
For which, nor ills, nor toils, nor shares
we frar;,
Which :ho within cur reach escapes our
ho d,
Deludes the searches of the young and
old:
Say what bleft land contains thy secret
ores,
And what recess conceals thy precious
dores?
Art thou immur'd in some unheeded cel!
Or in the noisy city dost thou dwell ?
Lock'd in the caverns of the raging
main,
Or waving high upon th' extended plain?
Where is it to be found ? —where hot ? —
if Fortune's aid
Prove vain, we should not trust the fickle
maid.
No occupation can command Wealth's
stay; . Ml
Socle find this, some that, some either
wa Y ; .. , ,
Sighs cannot call it,wifhes can't controul
And ofc it flies from merit—to a Fool.
Aft of the rich the way—they do not
know,
This bids you day, the other bids you go;
Thi^ bows & smiles for Wealth, while that
looks grave ;
Oue is a fool, the ocher is a knave ;
Some (wretQed scheme !) try Lotteries
, —in vain;
And fome,more wife, by Commerce hope
to gain :
Some taking various roads are poorer
made,
And lose the substance while they grasp
the (hade.
Who reason best, declare, with serious
phiz,
'' That wealth is no where found but
where it is."
But leave these idlers, take industry's
road,
Industry leads to Virtue and to GOD.
Where'er you are, purfae as you began —
Peace always blesses the indurtrious man.
The way above, nor yet below you lies—
Be but attentive ; Ready, just and wife,^
Thus shall you gain more joy than Wealth
bestows—
Where Virtue dwells Contentment
always grows.
By inserting in your useful pa
per the inclosed Letter you will
oblige some of your readers;
Dear Richard;
ALAS ! there is 116 loriger
any profpe& of my re
covery. My hopes are all de
feated, and i must die ! Yes;
Ikiward, your friend and bro
ther;, dies; Shortly the cold,
ife ftiffning arms of death
Will feteive me, tind I shall
be replied iri the cradle of the
fileht grave; Ilepofed did Ifay ?
Ah no ! I ill ill awake to
panes of frill deeper distress,
if podible,than those which I
now endure. —You can have
no conception, my dear bro-

>Unhappy Edward;
Aprils, 1791;
ther, of my feelings at this
time. Ah ! wreched me ! I
feel that I shall be milerable,
not for a month,year,or even
an age only, but through an
endless existence. The Doc
trine of unkerfaP fakation,
(as exhibited in the writings
of Chauncy, Pititpierre, and
by Murray) to which when
slushed with wealth and spirits
I inconsiderately trusted, af
fords no relief to # my tortured
mind. Bitter reflexions, for
past condda, now fling my
foul, and fill me with unut
terable anguish. Oh! lam
weary of life, but afraid
to die—would to Gad I had
never existed. Vain fruitlefs
wish ! My day of probation is
over :—the fun of my hope is
setting, to rife no more ; and,
O dreadful thought! °an
eternity of misery lucceeds!
Despair and horror have ta
ken hold of me. I tremble
every moment in fearful ex
pectation of being fummoried
to appear before the bar of
Christ ; and that awful de
nunciation agdinft the wicked,
to be pronounced by the great
Judge of all worlds, " Depart
ye cursed into everldfting fire
prepared for the devil and his
angels, "is continually thun
dering in my ears. There
" the worm dieth not, the fire
is not quenched arid the
smoke of their torment shall
afeend up for ever and ever."
While all heaven around the
throne of God will cry, " ho
ly, holy, holy is the Lord God
Almighty—True & righteous
are his judgments. Amen.
Alleluia."—Think of these
things, dear Richard ; receive
inftrudion now while it is
called to day, drid be wife for
eternity. —O let these lolemn
considerations--the lufteiings
of thy brother—the horrors
which I feel—the last trum
pet's found—ri world in
Hanies—the dread tribunal
of the great I AM—the end
less joys of heaven, and eter
nal rage of hell—O let these
solemn thoughts fink deep
into your mind, and check
you in your career of vice. It
is hay ardent wifll, (pray I
cdrinot)that you may yet be
happy; Adieu !I go to my
long home, Whence I shall
never return.—These are the
