From a late magazine.  An Epistle to a friend, grown old and
rich in trade, which he cannot be perswaded to resign.
  He that loveth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver;
  Nor he that loveth abundance, with increase. Eccl.v.19.
  Why still so craving quit the painful strife,
  More than tho' thou hast, for private life;
  In vain heav'n gives, if still thy wishes roll,
  Come, let me tap this dropsy of the soul!
. . . [53 more lines] Whitney, March 14.  Crito.
