[A base and selfish discontent]
[Give us all under, and above, the Moon]
[How different is the life within our breast]
[O heroes, ye comfort my brotherly heart!]
[When the vile and the noble he juggles to mix]
[I do not show]
[That base curmudgeon who in Nelson's stead]
[Berries, and also seeds]
[Good Reader, were I but in Greek]
[One or two at a time]

[Go where you're expected—]
Go
where you're expected—
You'll not find yourself neglected.
Go where you're not ask'd—
Luck's tried, and sometimes task'd.
