                  13

Look to the Rose that blows about us-“ Lo,
Laughing,” she says " into the World I blow :
At once the silken Tassel of my Purse
Tear, and its Treasure on the Garden throw."


                14

The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
Turns Ashes-or it prospers ; and anon,
Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face
Lighting a little Hour or two-is gone.


                15

And those who husbanded the Golden Grain,
And those who flung it to the Winds like Rain,
Alike to no such aureate Earth are turn'd
As, buried once, Men want dug up again.
