Epig. 43. lib. 5. Martial.

The crafty Thief may rob thee of thy store,
And greedy Flames thy Houshold-Gods devour;
Thy Debtor Principal and Use deny;
In barren Fields, thy Corn that's sown, may dye.
Thy Steward, by his crafty Mistress spoil'd;
And laden Ships be in the Ocean foil'd:
But what thou giv'st the Poor with liberal Hand,
This Fortune can alone thy Power withstand.
