[Where'er the diamond's busy point could pass]

Where'er the diamond's busy point could pass,
See! what deep wounds have pierc'd the middle glass!
While partial and untouching, all the rest,
Highest and lowest panes, shine, unimpress'd:
No wonder, this!—For, e'en in life, 'tis so;
High fortunes stand, unreach'd—unseen the low,
But middle states are marks, for every blow.
