Thou dwclest in warm aud cheerful home,
Thy rot IN vain the winter tempest lashes;
While housoless ~feiches round ihy mansion roam,
Oh whose nnshellei'd head. the torrent FLASHES.
Thy board Is loaded with ,he richest meats,
O'er which thine eyes IN stated languor wander
Many might live What Thy masliB eats,
Or feast fiagnenls which Thy servants squander
Thy limbs mufiled from The piercing blast,
When from the hresioe thou dost sally
Many have scarce rag ab0nt them cast
With which the frosty bfeezes toy and daily.
Thou hast soft smiles TO greet Thy kiss Of love,
When thy light step 'csounds within the portal
Some have friends lie who dwells above,
Nofweet Communion with fellow MORTAL
Thou sleePesi soundly Oh the costly bed,
Lnld by tho power Of iuxurios uanumbsr'd
Some pillow on stone aching head,
Mover again to wake when they have slumbsr'd.
Think, think Of those, who, form'd Of Kindred clay
Depend upon the doles thy bounty seatteni
And God ~lii hear them for thy welfare pray
They are his ehijssp, though ia rags and ta.tou.

they describe as being abundant, that they

horse the horse reared and plunged, bat
