"See them look o'er
"The labour past, and toils to come explore—
"See them alternate suns and show'rs engage,
"And hoard up aches and anguish for their age."
On turnpikes and canals "Their steps pursue,
"When their warm pores imbibe the evening dew:
"Then own, that labour may as fatal be,
"To these, thy slaves, as thine excess to thee." Crabbe.
* * * "Dejected widows with unheeded tears,
"And crippled age, with more than childish fears."Idem.
