Strana 183 - MIS'RY feek my cot with fighs, And humbly fue for piteous alms my ear; Yet difappointed go with lifted eyes, And on my threfhold leave th' upbraiding tear ? Thou boweft for the pity I beftow : Bend not to me, becaufe I mourn diftrefs ; I am thy debtor — much to thee I owe ; For learn — the greatcft bleffing is to blefs.
