And soften elem distraction wild
1hathope IS, in the grace
When poverty's relentless blast,
And treachery's arrows thicken fast,
Around their victims head
Let him but think on ttis, and smile;
Vain, vain are malice, hate and guile,
When in his narrow mansion laid
HIS comfort is the grdve

And mark'd his burning tears roll down;
All who shall soothe the wretch's grief?
The acorld will mock his deep-drawn sigh,
For her that's sunk in infamy
But mourner death will bring reliefs
Bliss, slumbers in the grave
Heard you the ruin'd far ones sigh,
Of deep and hopeless agony?
Poor out-cast dry those streaming tears,
Thy heart by :reachery is riven
Thy name to infamy is given
But, death will quiet all thy fears
No terTors haunt the grace 7
Oh grave thou art the mourner's friend;
In Thee lsis griefs and sorrows end;
in heeI woo supreme repose.

Of malice ranking in his heart,
Go seek solace for his woes
