16-23 Sep 1737:32, 41 (60)
We barbarously call those blest, 
Who are of largest tenements possest, 
Whilst swelling coffers break their owner's rest.
More truly happy those who can
Govern the little empire man, 
Bridle their passions, and direct their will, 
Through all the glittering paths of charming ill.
. . . [Verse is followed by 4 paragraphs concerning wealth's
place in a happy life.]
