Why then doe trifling miseries so grate
Our minds, and make us more unfortunate
Then heav'n intended? if out of a summe
Of mony (not so rich as troublesome
By the large roome, it occupies,) some one
Willing to teach us moderation,
Nibble a little, how we fret! we rave!
How for our treasure we distraction have!
As if we did beleeve (to say no more)
Heav'n had the onely powre to make us poore.
