A Catch.

Let the amorous Coxcomb adore a fair Face;
An Hours Enjoyment makes him look like an Ass.
Let the ambitious Fop to Honours aspire,
He burns with the Torment of boundless Desire.
And let the old Miser hoard up his curs'd Pelf,
He enriches his Bags, but he beggars himself.
The Lover, Ambitious, and Miser, are Fools;
There's no solid Joy, but in jolly full Bowls.
