BY RARA AVIS.
How many are the thoughts of men,
How varied and how strange;
And none agree en- any point,
Of those who thoughts exchange. .'
Their manners, too, are varied,
Their conversation too; =.
And none agree in oil respects, 'r'
In anything thoy do. ".'
Some think they know it all themselves,
And know but little then; :.
Their eager eyes are after pelf, ittI ~
To hoard up in their den.
From Iordly king and princes,
"a, To the boggar in the street,
Thoy are In pursuit of manmon,
With a step that's very fleet.
This is the god they worship,
They ne'er forget his, causei,
Their memory never fails them:
They study all his laws.
They ne'er arc caught mapping
When bargain can be had;
But their ears and eyes are open,
And they feel so very glad.
And some one now must suffer,
Their plans were laid before;
They are posted in their business,
Fen from the days of yore.
And many poor man suffers,
And many are driven mad,
For fear of being layed alive,
They feel so very bad.
Though they see the vultures coming,
They have no power to fly;
They only stand and tremble,
When they see them drawing nigh.
And quickly they are fayed alive,
Their bones are picked while green,
To fill the nav of Avarice,
Which is so lank and lean.
And many mothers made to weep,
And many an orphan cry,
By those voracious, grasping men,
Who oft in wait doth lie.
Thus are the thoughts and actions,
Of those avaricious men:
They rob the poor and needy,
As often as they can.
