The MORAL.

‘He who insults his Neighbour's wretched State,
‘Forgets how fast Afflictions circulate:
‘And whom they longest Favour in their Course,
‘Attack at last with more oppressive Force.
‘Hence we shou'd Pity, not Upbraid, the Grief
‘That makes our Neighbour court us for Relief;
‘Since we may come to need his Kindness, more
‘Than he, at lowest Ebb, did our's before.
